EVENTIDE

Come and have your bath, boys, Two boys together, Rolling on the lawn all day In the dusty weather. Padie, jump into the water, Soak the brown legs white; Come and have your bath, boys, No heads to-night! Boats to sail and feets to scrub Feets and faces too; Sliding 'round the 'namel tub Frowing soap at you; Drop your scooter quick, Bay, Everything's all right, Didn't you hear mother say No heads to-night?

WHISPER! When he talks to Bay and me, Micky doesn't seem to know It's too far for boys to see. If he's in the trellis tree; It's too damp for boys to go Hunting in the grass below.
