The clock was in ill humor so was the vase It was all on account of the little shoe that had been placed on the mantel piece that day and had done nothing but sigh dolorously all the afternoon and evening	A
	-
Look you here neighbor quoth the clock in petulant tones you are sadly mistaken if you think you will be permitted to disturb our peace and harmony with your constant sighs and groans If you are ill pray let us know otherwise have done with your manifestations of distress	B
	-
Possibly you do not know what befell the melancholy plaque that intruded his presence upon us last week said the vase We pitched him off the mantelpiece and he was shattered into a thousand bits	C
	-
The little shoe gave a dreadful shudder It could not help thinking it had fallen among inhospitable neighbors It began to cry The brass candlestick took pity on the sobbing thing and declared with some show of temper that the little shoe should not be imposed on	D
	-
Now tell us why you are so full of sadness said the brass	E
candlestick	F
	-
I do not know how to explain whimpered the little shoe You see I am quite a young thing albeit I have a rusty appearance and there is a hole in my toes and my heel is badly run over I feel so lonesome and friendless and sort of neglected like that it seems as if there were nothing for me to do but sigh and grieve and weep all day long	G
	-
Sighing and weeping do no good remarked the vase philosophically	H
	-
I know that very well replied the little shoe but once I was so happy that my present lonesome lot oppresses me all the more grievously	H
	-
You say you once were happy pray tell us all about it demanded the brass candlestick	F
	-
The vase was eager to hear the little shoe's story and even the proud haughty clock expressed a willingness to listen The matchbox came from the other end of the mantel piece and the pen wiper the paper cutter and the cigar case gathered around the little shoe and urged it to proceed with its narrative	I
	-
The first thing I can remember in my short life said the little shoe was being taken from a large box in which there were many of my kind thrown together in great confusion I found myself tied with a slender cord to a little mate a shoe so very like me that you could not have told us apart We two were taken and put in a large window in the midst of many grown up shoes and we had nothing to do but gaze out of the window all day long into the wide busy street That was a very pleasant life Sometimes the sunbeams would dance through the window panes and play at hide and seek all over me and my little mate they would kiss and caress us and we learned to love them very much they were so warm and gentle and merrisome Sometimes the raindrops would patter against the window panes singing wild songs to us and clamoring to break through and destroy us with their eagerness When night came we could see stars away up in the dark sky winking at us and very often the old mother moon stole out from behind a cloud to give us a kindly smile The wind used to sing us lullabies and in one corner of our window there was a little open space where the mice gave a grand ball every night to the music of the crickets and a blind frog	J
Altogether we had a merry time	K
	-
I 'd have liked it all but the wind said the brass candlestick I don't know why it is but I 'm dreadfully put out by the horrid old wind	L
	-
Many people continued the little shoe used to stop and look in at the window and I believe my little mate and I were admired more than any of our larger and more pretentious companions I can remember there was a pair of red top boots that was exceedingly jealous of us But that did not last long for one day a very sweet lady came and peered in at the window and smiled very joyously when she saw me and my little mate Then I remember we were taken from the window and the lady held us in her hands and examined us very closely and measured our various dimensions with a string and finally I remember she said she would carry us home We did not know what that meant only we realized that we would never live in the shop window again and we were loath to be separated from the sunbeams and the mice and the other friends that had been so kind to us	M
	-
What a droll little shoe exclaimed the vase Whereupon the clock frowned and ticked a warning to the vase not to interrupt the little shoe in the midst of its diverting narrative	I
	-
It is not necessary for me to tell you how we were wrapped in paper and carried a weary distance said the little shoe it is sufficient to my purpose to say that after what seemed to us an interminable journey and a cruel banging around we were taken from the paper and found ourselves in a quiet cozy room yes in this very apartment where we all are now The sweet lady held us in her lap and at the sweet lady's side stood a little child gazing at us with an expression of commingled astonishment admiration and glee We knew the little child belonged to the sweet lady and from the talk we heard we knew that henceforth the child was to be our little master	N
	-
As if some sudden anguish came upon it hushing its speech the little shoe paused in its narrative The others said never a word Perhaps it was because they were beginning to understand The proud haughty clock seemed to be less imperious for the moment and its ticking was softer and more reverential	O
	-
From that time resumed the little shoe our little master and we were inseparable during all the happy day We played and danced with him and wandered everywhere through the grass over the carpets down the yard up the street ay everywhere our little master went we went too sharing his pretty antics and making music everywhere Then when evening came and little master was put to sleep in yonder crib we were set on the warm carpet near his bed where we could watch him while he slept and bid him good morrow when the morning came Those were pleasant nights too for no sooner had little master fallen asleep than the fairies came trooping through the keyholes and fluttering down the chimney to dance over his eyes all night long giving him happy dreams and filling his baby ears with sweetest music	F
	-
What a curious conceit said the pen wiper	N
	-
And is it true that fairies dance on children's eyelids at night asked the paper cutter	N
	-
Certainly the clock chimed in and they sing very pretty lullabies and very cunning operettas too I myself have seen and heard them	P
	-
I should like to hear a fairy operetta suggested the pen wiper	N
	-
I remember one the fairies sang my little master as they danced over his eyelids said the little shoe and I will repeat it if you wish	Q
	-
Nothing would please me more said the pen wiper	N
	-
Then you must know said the little shoe that as soon as my master fell asleep the fairies would make their appearance led by their queen a most beautiful and amiable little lady no bigger than a cambric needle Assembling on the pillow of the crib they would order their minstrels and orchestra to seat themselves on little master's forehead The minstrels invariably were the cricket the flea the katydid and the gnat while the orchestra consisted of mosquitos bumblebees and wasps Once in a great while on very important occasions the fairies would bring the old blind hop toad down the chimney and set him on the window sill where he would discourse droll ditties to the infinite delight of his hearers But on ordinary occasions the fairy queen whose name was Taffie would lead the performance in these pleasing words sung to a very dulcet air	R

AN INVITATION TO SLEEP	S
	-
Little eyelids cease your winking	A
Little orbs forget to beam	T
Little soul to slumber sinking	A
Let the fairies rule your dream	T
Breezes through the lattice sweeping	A
Sing their lullabies the while	U
And a star ray softly creeping	A
To thy bedside woos thy smile	U
But no song nor ray entrancing	A
Can allure thee from the spell	V
Of the tiny fairies dancing	A
O'er the eyes they love so well	V
See we come in countless number	N
I their queen and all my court	W
Haste my precious one to slumber	N
Which invites our fairy sport	W
	-
	-
At the conclusion of this song Prince Whimwham a tidy little gentleman fairy in pink silk small clothes approaching Queen Taffie and bowing graciously would say	X
	-
Pray lady may I have the pleasure	N
Of leading you this stately measure	N
	-
To which her majesty would reply with equal graciousness in the affirmative Then Prince Whimwham and Queen Taffie would take their places on one of my master's eyelids and the other gentleman fairies and lady fairies would follow their example till at last my master's face would seem to be alive with these delightful little beings The mosquitos would blow a shrill blast on their trumpets the orchestra would strike up and then the festivities would begin in earnest How the bumblebees would drone how the wasps would buzz and how the mosquitos would blare It was a delightful harmony of weird sounds The strange little dancers floated hither and thither over my master's baby face as light as thistledowns and as graceful as the slender plumes they wore in their hats and bonnets Presently they would weary of dancing and then the minstrels would be commanded to entertain them Invariably the flea who was a rattle headed fellow would discourse some such incoherent song as this	Y

When the catamaran	A2
Tore up a man	A2
And streaked the air	N
With his gore and hair	N
Because the flubdub wedded the bear	N
	-
	-
I remember with what dignity the fairy queen used to reprove the flea for his inane levity	H
	-
Nay futile flea these verses you are making	A
Disturb the child for see he is awaking	A
Come little cricket sing your quaintest numbers	B2
And they perchance shall lull him back to slumbers	B2
	-
	-
Upon this invitation the cricket who is justly one of the most famous songsters in the world would get his pretty voice in tune and sing as follows	B2
	-
THE CRICKET'S SONG	A
	-
When all around from out the ground	C2
The little flowers are peeping	A
And from the hills the merry rills	B2
With vernal songs are leaping	A
I sing my song the whole day long	A
In woodland hedge and thicket	D2
And sing it too the whole night through	N
For I 'm a merry cricket	E2
	-
The children hear my chirrup clear	N
As in the woodland straying	A
They gather flow'rs through summer hours	B2
And then I hear them saying	A
Sing sing away the livelong day	X
Glad songster of the thicket	D2
With your shrill mirth you gladden earth	F2
You merry little cricket	E2
	-
When summer goes and Christmas snows	B2
Are from the north returning	A
I quit my lair and hasten where	N
The old yule log is burning	A
And where at night the ruddy light	G2
Of that old log is flinging	A
A genial joy o'er girl and boy	H2
There I resume my singing	A
	-
And when they hear my chirrup clear	N
The children stop their playing	A
With eager feet they haste to greet	I2
My welcome music saying	A
The little thing has come to sing	A
Of woodland hedge and thicket	D2
Of summer day and lambs at play	X
Oh how we love the cricket	E2
	-
	-
This merry little song always seemed to please everybody except the gnat The fairies appeared to regard the gnat as a pestiferous insect but a contemptuous pity led them to call upon him for a recitation which invariably was in the following strain	J2
	-
THE FATE OF THE FLIMFLAM	K2
	-
A flimflam flopped from a fillamaloo	X
Where the pollywog pinkled so pale	X
And the pipkin piped a petulant pooh	N
To the garrulous gawp of the gale	X
Oh woe to the swap of the sweeping swipe	L2
That booms on the hobbling bay	X
Snickered the snark to the snoozing snipe	L2
That lurked where the lamprey lay	X
	-
The gluglug glinked in the glimmering gloam	M2
Where the buzbuz bumbled his bee	H
When the flimflam flitted all flecked with foam	M2
From the sozzling and succulent sea	H
Oh swither the swipe with its sweltering sweep	S
She swore as she swayed in a swoon	N2
And a doleful dank dumped over the deep	S
To the lay of the limpid loon	N2
	-
	-
This was simply horrid as you all will allow The queen and her fairy followers were much relieved when the honest katydid narrated a pleasant moral in the form of a ballad to this effect	O2
	-
CONTENTMENT	P2
	-
Once on a time an old red hen	Q2
Went strutting 'round with pompous clucks	B2
For she had little babies ten	Q2
A part of which were tiny ducks	B2
'T is very rare that hens said she	H
Have baby ducks as well as chicks	B2
But I possess as you can see	H
Of chickens four and ducklings six	B2
	-
A season later this old hen	Q2
Appeared still cackling of her luck	A
For though she boasted babies ten	Q2
Not one among them was a duck	A
'T is well she murmured brooding o'er	N
The little chicks of fleecy down	R2
My babies now will stay ashore	N
And consequently cannot drown	R2
	-
The following spring the old red hen	Q2
Clucked just as proudly as of yore	N
But lo her babes were ducklings ten	Q2
Instead of chickens as before	N
'T is better said the old red hen	Q2
As she surveyed her waddling brood	S2
A little water now and then	Q2
Will surely do my darlings good	T2
	-
But oh alas how very sad	U2
When gentle spring rolled round again	Q2
The eggs eventuated bad	U2
And childless was the old red hen	Q2
Yet patiently she bore her woe	V2
And still she wore a cheerful air	N
And said 'T is best these things are so	V2
For babies are a dreadful care	N
	-
I half suspect that many men	Q2
And many many women too	N
Could learn a lesson from the hen	Q2
With foliage of vermilion hue	N
She ne'er presumed to take offence	V2
At any fate that might befall	X
But meekly bowed to Providence	V2
She was contented that was all	X
	-
	-
Then the fairies would resume their dancing Each little gentleman fairy would bow to his lady fairy and sing in the most musical of voices	V2
	-
Sweet little fairy	H
Tender and airy	H
Come let us dance on the good baby eyes	V2
Merrily skipping	A
Cheerily tripping	A
Murmur we ever our soft lullabies	V2
	-
	-
And then as the rest danced the fairy queen sang the following slumber song accompanied by the orchestra	N
	-
A FAIRY LULLABY	W2
	-
There are two stars in yonder steeps	V2
That watch the baby while he sleeps	V2
But while the baby is awake	A
And singing gayly all day long	A
The little stars their slumbers take	A
Lulled by the music of his song	A
So sleep dear tired baby sleep	S
While little stars their vigils keep	S
	-
Beside his loving mother sheep	S
A little lambkin is asleep	S
What does he know of midnight gloom	X2
He sleeps and in his quiet dreams	V2
He thinks he plucks the clover bloom	X2
And drinks at cooling purling streams	V2
And those same stars the baby knows	V2
Sing softly to the lamb's repose	V2
	-
Sleep little lamb sleep little child	Y2
The stars are dim the night is wild	Y2
But o'er the cot and o'er the lea	H
A sleepless eye forever beams	V2
A shepherd watches over thee	H
In all thy little baby dreams	V2
The shepherd loves his tiny sheep	S
Sleep precious little lambkin sleep	S
	-
	-
That is very pretty indeed exclaimed the brass candlestick	A
	-
So it is replied the little shoe but you should hear it sung by the fairy queen	Z2
	-
Did the operetta end with that lullaby inquired the cigar case	V2
	-
Oh no said the little shoe No sooner had the queen finished her lullaby than an old gran'ma fairy wearing a quaint mob cap and large spectacles limped forward with her crutch and droned out a curious ballad which seemed to be for the special benefit of the boy and girl fairies very many of whom were of the company This ballad was as follows	V2
	-
BALLAD OF THE JELLY CAKE	A
	-
A little boy whose name was Tim	A3
Once ate some jelly cake for tea	H
Which cake did not agree with him	A3
As by the sequel you shall see	H
My darling child his mother said	B3
Pray do not eat that jelly cake	A
For after you have gone to bed	B3
I fear 't will make your stomach ache	A
But foolish little Tim demurred	C3
Unto his mother's warning word	C3
	-
That night while all the household slept	D3
Tim felt an awful pain and then	Q2
From out the dark a nightmare leapt	D3
And stood upon his abdomen	E3
I cannot breathe the infant cried	F3
Oh Mrs Nightmare pity take	A
There is no mercy she replied	F3
For boys who feast on jelly cake	A
And so despite the moans of Tim	A3
The cruel nightmare went for him	A3
	-
At first she 'd tickle Timmy's toes	V2
Or roughly smite his baby cheek	A
And now she 'd rudely tweak his nose	V2
And other petty vengeance wreak	A
And then with hobnails in her shoes	V2
And her two horrid eyes aflame	G3
The mare proceeded to amuse	V2
Herself by prancing o'er his frame	G3
First to his throbbing brow and then	Q2
Back to his little feet again	Q2
	-
At last fantastic wild and weird	H3
And clad in garments ghastly grim	A3
A scowling hoodoo band appeared	H3
And joined in worrying little Tim	A3
Each member of this hoodoo horde	I3
Surrounded Tim with fierce ado	N
And with long cruel gimlets bored	I3
His aching system through and through	N
And while they labored all night long	A
The nightmare neighed a dismal song	A
	-
Next morning looking pale and wild	Y2
Poor little Tim emerged from bed	B3
Good gracious what can ail the child	Y2
His agitated mother said	B3
We live to learn responded he	H
And I have lived to learn to take	A
Plain bread and butter for my tea	H
And never never jelly cake	A
For when my hulk with pastry teems	V2
I must expect unpleasant dreams	V2
	-
	-
Now you can imagine this ballad impressed the child fairies very deeply continued the little shoe Whenever the gran'ma fairy sang it the little fairies expressed great surprise that boys and girls ever should think of eating things which occasioned so much trouble So the night was spent in singing and dancing and our master would sleep as sweetly as you please At last the lark what a beautiful bird she is would flutter against the window panes and give the fairies warning in these words	V2
	-
MORNING SONG	A
	-
The eastern sky is streaked with red	B3
The weary night is done	E3
And from his distant ocean bed	B3
Rolls up the morning sun	E3
The dew like tiny silver beads	V2
Bespread o'er velvet green	Z2
Is scattered on the wakeful meads	V2
By angel hands unseen	Z2
Good morrow robin in the trees	V2
The star eyed daisy cries	V2
Good morrow sings the morning breeze	V2
Unto the ruddy skies	V2
Good morrow every living thing	A
Kind Nature seems to say	V2
And all her works devoutly sing	A
A hymn to birth of day	V2
So haste without delay	V2
Haste fairy friends on silver wing	A
And to your homes away	V2
	-
	-
But the fairies could never leave little master so unceremoniously Before betaking themselves to their pretty homes under the rocks near the brook they would address a parting song to his eyes and this song they called a matin invocation	E3
	-
TO A SLEEPING BABY'S EYES	V2
	-
And thou twin orbs of love and joy	H2
Unveil thy glories with the morn	J3
Dear eyes another day is born	J3
Awake O little sleeping boy	H2
Bright are the summer morning skies	V2
But in this quiet little room	X2
There broods a chill oppressive gloom	X2
All for the brightness of thine eyes	V2
Without those radiant orbs of thine	K3
How dark this little world would be	H
This sweet home world that worships thee	H
So let their wondrous glories shine	K3
On those who love their warmth and joy	H2
Awake O sleeping little boy	H2
	-
	-
So that ended the fairy operetta did it inquired the match box	V2
	-
Yes said the little shoe with a sigh of regret The fairies were such bewitching creatures and they sang so sweetly I could have wished they would never stop their antics and singing But alas I fear I shall never see them again	Q2
	-
What makes you think so asked the brass candlestick	A
	-
I 'm sure I can't tell replied the little shoe only everything is so strange like and so changed from what it used to be that I hardly know whether indeed I am still the same little shoe I used to be	H
	-
Why what can you mean queried the old clock with a puzzled look on her face	V2
	-
I will try to tell you said the little shoe You see my mate and our master and I were great friends as I have said we roamed and frolicked around together all day and at night my little mate and I watched at master's bedside while he slept One day we three took a long ramble away up the street and beyond where the houses were built until we came into a beautiful green field where the grass was very tall and green and where there were pretty flowers of every kind Our little master talked to the flowers and they answered him and we all had a merry time in the meadow that afternoon I can tell you 'Don't go away little child ' cried the daisies 'but stay and be our playfellow always ' A butterfly came and perched on our master's hand and looked up and smiled and said 'I 'm not afraid of you you would n't hurt me would you ' A little mouse told us there was a thrush's nest in the bush yonder and we hurried to see it The lady thrush was singing her four babies to sleep They were strange looking babies with their gaping mouths bulbing eyes and scant feathers 'Do not wake them up ' protested the lady thrush 'Go a little further on and you will come to the brook I will join you presently ' So we went to the brook	A
	-
Oh but I would have been afraid suggested the pen wiper	N
	-
Afraid of the brook cried the little shoe Oh no what could be prettier than the brook We heard it singing in the distance We called to it and it bade us welcome How it smiled in the sunshine How restless and furtive and nimble it was yet full of merry prattling and noisy song Our master was overjoyed He had never seen the brook before nor had we for that matter 'Let me cool your little feet ' said the brook and without replying our master waded knee deep into the brook In an instant we were wet through my mate and I but how deliciously cool it was here in the brook and how smooth and bright the pebbles were One of the pebbles told me it had come many many miles that day from its home in the hills where the brook was born	J3
	-
Pooh I don't believe it sneered the vase	V2
	-
Presently our master toddled back from out the brook continued the little shoe heedless of the vase's interruption and sat among the cowslips and buttercups on the bank The brook sang on as merrily as before 'Would you like to go sailing ' asked our master of my mate 'Indeed I would ' replied my mate and so our master pulled my mate from his little foot and set it afloat upon the dancing waves of the brook My mate was not the least alarmed It spun around gayly several times at first and then glided rapidly away The butterfly hastened and alighted upon the merry little craft 'Where are you going ' I cried 'I am going down to the sea ' replied my little mate with laughter 'And I am going to marry the rose in the far away south ' cried the butterfly 'But will you not come back ' I cried They answered me but they were so far away I could not hear them It was very distressing and I grieved exceedingly Then all at once I discovered my little master was asleep fast asleep among the cowslips and buttercups I did not try to wake him only I felt very miserable for I was so cold and wet Presently the lady thrush came as she had said she would The child is asleep he will be ill I must hasten to tell his mother ' she cried and away she flew	N
	-
And was he sick asked the vase	V2
	-
I do not know said the little shoe I can remember it was late that evening when the sweet lady and others came and took us up and carried us back home to this very room Then I was pulled off very unceremoniously and thrown under my little master's bed and I never saw my little master after that	L3
	-
How very strange exclaimed the match safe	M3
	-
Very very strange repeated the shoe For many days and nights I lay under the crib all alone I could hear my little master sighing and talking as if in a dream Sometimes he spoke of me and of the brook and of my little mate dancing to the sea and one night he breathed very loud and quick and he cried out and seemed to struggle and then all at once he stopped and I could hear the sweet lady weeping But I remember all this very faintly I was hoping the fairies would come back but they never came	G3
	-
I remember resumed the little shoe after a solemn pause I remember how after a long long time the sweet lady came and drew me from under the crib and held me in her lap and kissed me and wept over me Then she put me in a dark lonesome drawer where there were dresses and stockings and the little hat my master used to wear There I lived oh such a weary time and we talked the dresses the stockings the hat and I did about our little master and we wondered that he never came And every little while the sweet lady would take us from the drawer and caress us and we saw that she was pale and that her eyes were red with weeping	A
	-
But has your little master never come back asked the old clock	A
	-
Not yet said the little shoe and that is why I am so very lonesome Sometimes I think he has gone down to the sea in search of my little mate and that the two will come back together But I do not understand it The sweet lady took me from the drawer to day and kissed me and set me here on the mantelpiece	V2
	-
You don't mean to say she kissed you cried the haughty vase you horrid little stumped out shoe	N
	-
Indeed she did insisted the lonesome little shoe and I know she loves me But why she loves me and kisses me and weeps over me I do not know It is all very strange I do not understand it at all	X
