Acrostic
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.
