Sweet eyes of tender, gentianella blue

Fixed upon mine, a little coaxing voice,—

Only we two.

“Tell it again!” Insatiate demand!

And like a toiling spider where I sat,

I wove and spun the many-colored webs

Of this and that.

Of Dotty Pringle sweeping out her hall;

Of Greedy Bear; of Santa Claus the good;

And how the little children met the Months
