THE ENCHANTED HOUSE
(To Gloria, after reading "The Perfume Vendor.") Gloria dreams and weaves and plots, *And by her side old Ogpu squats, While deftly distilling with wondrous care Ben• "Neroli blends his scents so rare. , G|oria stirs, and the clock strikes four As three little sailormen tap on the door, bringing" their wares fromthe Isles of the blest, . For the sailormen know where their wares sell Jbest. Then, all of a sudden, to Gloria's surprise, The little Green Tiki winks his eyes. For who stood there would you suppose? "The Freckled Fairy," powdering her nose. ; When Ra in the sky his place forsakes, Gloria shivers and Gloria wakes, And as the world turns red and gold Poor sunflower shrinks and feels quite old. WILL G. TOLLEY. Erua. , !. .
