From The Luck of the Bean-Rows, a Fairy-tale for Lucky Children, illustrated by Claud Lovat Fraser, London: Daniel O’Connor, [1921]; pp. 1-4.
THE LASS who leaves her nun-like cells,
And in the World of Wifehood dwells,
Needs light of Heaven and luck of Fairy:
May both be yours, young Princess Mary!
Since gifts go to you — Wedlock’s wage —
Accept this Dedication Page
With homage from the hands that give it.
All Life’s a Fairy-tale — go live it!
‘Henry George Charles’ — to you he brings
The threefold names of English kings,
But has himself the merrier part
As monarch of a Maiden’s heart.
Christmas, 1921.
