A DEDICATIONWITH THIS BOOK OF VERSE
When you and I were little tiny boysWe took a most impertinent delightIn foolish, painted and misshapen toysThat hidden mothers brought to us at night.Do you that have the child’s diviner part—The dear content a love familiar brings—Take these imperfect toys, till in your heartThey too attain the form of perfect things?

In foolish, painted and misshapen toys
That hidden mothers brought to us at night.
Do you that have the child’s diviner part—The dear content a love familiar brings—Take these imperfect toys, till in your heartThey too attain the form of perfect things?
