The answer which I should receive, that it was not "Littell;"
And had he read my wishes, and offered me the "Book,"
I would not have accepted; but I love the first, fresh look.
So I waited very patiently, and my reward was near;
I saw that he was pleased, though it cost me rather dear;
And when the day was closing, and the rain at last was done,
I enjoyed the precious "Godey," and the glorious setting sun.
'TIS O'ER.
