maidens, when you look On this little story-book, Reading with attentive eye Its enticing history; Never think that hours of play Are your only holiday, And that, in a time of joy, Lessons serve but to annoy. If in any HOUSE you find Children of a gentle mind, Each the others helping ever, Each the others vexing never, Daily task and pastime daily In their order taking gaily— Then be very sure that they Have a life of HOLIDAY.
