Text Appearing Before Image: y. Little epitome of contradictions, Fiery, yet meek and prone to fairy fictions, Wilfully, gently shy. Aside Poring over the pictured page,My violet eyed. Charley, youthful sage and scribe,Preacher named in playful gibe.Principles, would scorn the bribe.Eyes which suffuse with feeling, gray.Not prone to Spartan brevity.But speaketh right grandiloquently.Oft musingly he holds his way.He seeketh not the boisterous fray.My noble boy, and only one. And now in leash of love they come.My singing birds, the elder one.Gay, of orient full dark eyeOmnibus ; heartily, cheerily gay.Little, beloved scape grace, sayThou sprite of merry mischief,Wilt thou be quiet, pray !Thou art lovely as the day. Laura, tandem felix, Lark,Too timid even to love the dark. 373 MRS. GAY R. TIERNAlvr. Her chief est dread, the painted mask.She plyeth well her lighter task.Twisting her slips and cutting papers,Bearing her colored paper babies,Singing, laughing, catting capers.My sylphide Saint Cecilia girl.March, 1851.
