TO MY LITTLE NIECE, KITTIE.
[With a Maltese Kitten.]
Kittie Mabel, will you take This gift, for the giver’s sake? Verse and song and roundelay Will be yours this merry day; Mine are all unfit to send, Tattered rhymes, too poor to mend. But, although I haven’t any Songs, my thoughts are swift and many. All are flying straight to you, And your heart, so sweet and true, I am sure, dear, won’t decline This small, furry Valentine.
