sing up on the shore
And Grace dearly loved moses anl
shells. She knew all the little caves and
coves and sandy ncoks where they were
to be found. and the best time to look
for them, and used to come home from
her solitary rambles with her little apron
full Of treasures. dearer to her simple
heart than rare exotics, or costly gem
She said the bright-colorcd MOSES were
sea-aowers, torn By the thievins waves
out of the mermaids' gardcns-ana TIM;
the shells were the houses or pleasure
boats OF the little sca-iairies.
