Have you ever played ball in the baths, My Elves, Where the water is deep and green? With a ball that is yellow and blue and red. And the water closes over your head Till only the bubbles are seen? ■ --■■-• If you've ever played ball in the batlis, r^ : My. Elves, Well, you'll probably know what I mean. The pixies ilvat play in the ponds, My Elves, Have around and a beautiful ball; And a bubble it is, and they throw it high, And the referee is a dragon-fly, But they have no rules at all. Where the rushes groiv high and green and brown, Where the shadows creep when the sun goes down, You MIGHT see them play one day, My Elves, * // you're ever so still and small. BETTY KNELL
