XXIV. GOING.

/^N such a night, or such a night, ^^ Would anybody care If such a little figure Slipped quiet from its chair,

So quiet, oh, how quiet ! That nobody might know But that the little figure Rocked softer, to and fro ?

On such a dawn, or such a dawn, Would anybody sigh That such a little figure Too sound asleep did lie

For chanticleer to wake it, Or stirring house below, Or giddy bird in orchard, Or early task to do ?
