ACROSTICS: LITTLE MAIDENS, WHEN YOU LOOK
-
                    LITTLE maidens, when you look
                    On this little story-book,
                    Reading with attentive eye
                    Its enticing history,
                    Never think that hours of play
                    Are your only HOLIDAY,
                    And that in a HOUSE of joy
                    Lessons serve but to annoy:
                    If in any HOUSE you find
                    Children of a gentle mind,
                    Each the others pleasing ever-
                    Each the others vexing never-
                    Daily work and pastime daily
                    In their order taking gaily-
                    Then be very sure that they
                    Have a life of HOLIDAY.
