Going to Him! Happy letter! Tell Him - Tell Him the page I did'nt write - Tell Him - I only said the Syntax - And left the Verb and the pronoun - out - Tell Him just how the fingers hurried - Then - how they waded - slow - slow - And then you wished you had eyes in your pages - So you could see what moved them so - Tell Him - it was'nt a Practised Writer - You guessed - from the way the sentence toiled - You could hear the Boddice tug, behind you - As if it held but the might of a child - You almost pitied it - you - it worked so - Tell Him - No - you may quibble there - For it would split His Heart, to know it - And then you and I, were silenter.
Tell Him - Night finished - before we finished - And the Old Clock kept neighing "Day"! And you - got sleepy - And begged to be ended - What could it hinder so - to say? Tell Him - just how she sealed you - Cautious! But - if He ask where you are hid Until tomorrow - Happy letter! Gesture Coquette - and shake your Head!
