THE POLISHED POND
31 TV/ien the musk is lowed along r The water edge in golden song, ) I ir/ien the star-dusk dims around . ; I Polished Pond —’tis magic ground. i I Underneath, the willow green , In a suit of silk moonbeam, , A pixie fisher cast his line ' Of plaited, silver spider-twine. ’ "Three fish at last! Enough,” said he, "for me to ask some friends to tea. ’ Mayhap old Hip the Hare will come And Silver Toes"; then he looked glum. And could not think of any more, So low, I said, "I would make four, I’ve never seen a Pixie house; And do you ride a grey field mouse?” 1 think his eye was very brown; "Just bow five times and turn around, Then follow me," was all he said, I did, but 10l That Pix had fled! —Original, by “Madame Pompadour,” Eketahuna.
