mother moth in the soft spring sun
Flew up and down the room
She preened her wings and smoothed the down
OF her silver gray and silsen gown
Just free from winters tomb.
She was round and fat and fair to see,
Though she had not dined since fall,
But then she had eaten up, you know,
The bulk OF summer brides trousscau-
Twas toothsome feast withal
Now she called her children to her side,
From corner, crack and trunk;
A gay, well rounded host were they, =
Save one poor child who. sooth to say, =;
Had pitiably shrunk.

And now he knows no thought of play,
But turns, with gathering doubt,
To sterner lessons, day by day,
And school is never out.
