Sweet, all honey: a bird that ever hailed her
Lady mistress, as hails the maid a mother.
Nor would move from her arms away: but only
Hopping round her, about her, hence or hither,
Piped his colloquy, piped to none beside her.
ROBINSON ELLIS.
And I flutter like a child after her mother.
Like a child whose mother’s lost,
I am fluttering, terror-tost.
M. J. WALHOUSE.
