William Brighty Rands White Poems
- 1. Dressing The Doll
THIS is the way we dress the Doll:â??
You may make her a shepherdess, the Doll,
If you give her a crook with a pastoral hook,
But this is the way we dress the Doll.
... - 2. Polly
Brown eyes,
Straight nose;
Dirt pies,
Rumpled clothes;
... - 3. The Dream Of A Girl Who Lived At Seven-oaks
Seven sweet singing birds up in a tree;
Seven swift sailing ships white upon the sea;
Seven bright weather-cocks shining in the sun;
Seven slim race-horses ready for a run;
... - 4. The Flowers
When Love arose in heart and deed
To wake the world to greater joy,
‘What can she give me now?' said Greed,
Who thought to win some costly toy.
