Frances Darwin Cornford Night Poems
- 1. Feri's Dream
I Had a little dog, and my dog was very small;
He licked me in the face, and he answered to my call;
Of all the treasures that were mine, I loved him most of all.
... - 2. The Ragwort
The thistles on the sandy flats
Are courtiers with crimson hats ;
The ragworts, growing up so straight,
Are emperors who stand in state,

There's many a one knows that--
Alone I live in my little dark house
With Pillycock, my cat.
