THE CHILDREN's HOUR.

Comes a pause in the days occupations,
That is known as the Chldren's hour.
! hear in the chamber above me
The patter q liitle feet,
The sound o. a door that Is opened,
And voices sol and sweet.
From my study see in the lampIghi,
Descending the broad hall stair,
Grave Alice, and laughing Allegro,
And Edith with golden hair.
A whisper, and then @ silence:
Yet knew by their merry eyes
They arc plotting and planning together
To take me by surprise
A sudden rush from the stairway,
\ sudden raid from the half
By three doors left uIguarded
They enter my castle wall.
They climb up into my turrc:
Der the arms and back Of my chair
IfItry % escape, they surround me;
They seem 70 De everywhere.
They almost devour me with kisses,
Their arms about me eutwiue,
TIL think of the Bishop Of Bingeu
In his MOuse-TJwer on the Rhine.
DO you think, o blue-eyed baHdit!i,
Because you have scaled the wall,
such IN old moustacbe as am
Is not q match for you al:
have you fast 10 my fortress,
And win no. le- you depart,
But put you down into the Dungeons
