No wonder that the tender little sister shrieks!

And when they heard her not a hornet missed her;

They stung her blind just ’cause she was his sister!—

Poor little sister, poor little brother,

One ran one way, and one the other!

All day long was dear little Dimple lost,

And all the house was out and calling, “Dimple! Dimple!”

Till just at dark a dingle dim was crossed,

And there, asleep, down in the grass, all sweet and simple,
