The Children's Party |
|
What a merry, merry rout! See the wee ones dance about! Dickie's leading off the ball; There,--he almost had a fall.
Who's his partner in the whirls, --Rosiest of all the girls? But a doll--a you say; Dancing in that sprightly way?
Well I never! Oh, see there, See--just see those horses tear! Meg and Madge will sure be thrown. What a vicious looking roan!
Not a real live horse you say, Prancing in that frightful way? Well, I never! Toys to-day Surely seem more "real" than "play."
(from Cinderella or, the Little Glass Slipper and Other Stories )
