CLXIV

THE FAMILY

I

MOTHER AND DAUGHTER

IGH as my heart!—the quip be mine

That draws their stature to a line,

My pair of fairies plump and dark,

The dryads of my cattle park.

Here by my window close I sit,

And watch (and my heart laughs at it)

How these my dragon-lilies are

Alike and yet dissimilar. 526
