MAKING PANSIES

if HREE faces in a hood.”
Folk called the pansy so
Three hundred years ago.
Of course she understood !

Then, perching on my knee,

She drew her mother’s head

To her own and mine, and said —
“That’s mother, you, and me!”

And so it comes about
We three, for gladness’ sake,
Sometimes a pansy make
Before the gas goes out.
