THE POET’S CORNER.
A BIRTHDAY WISH. Dear lady, tapping at your door, Some little verses stand, And beg on this auspicious day To come and kiss your hand. Their syllables all countedjight, •'Their rhymes each in its~place, Like birthday children, at the door They wait to see your face. Rise lady, rise and let them in; Fresh from the fairy shore, They bring you things you ■wish to have, Each in its pinafore. For they have been to Wishing-Land This morning in the dew, And all your dearest wishes brnig— All granted —home to you.
