    About this ebook

    Girt with a boyish garb for boyish task,
    Eager she wields her spade: yet loves as well
    Rest on the friendly knee, intent to ask
    The tale one loves to tell.
    Rude scoffer of the seething outer strife,
    Unmeet to read her pure and simple spright,
    Deem, if thou wilt, such hours a waste of life,
    Empty of all delight!
    Chat on, sweet Maid, and rescue from annoy
    Hearts that by wiser talk are unbeguilded.
    Ah, happy he who owns the tenderest joy,
    The heart-love of a child!
    Away, fond thoughts, and vex my soul no more!
    Work claims my wakeful nights, my busy days,
    Albeit bright memories of the sunlit shore
    Yet haunt my dreaming gaze.

      IN COMPETITION No 302 you were invited to write a poem called The Doormat. Most of your doormats were metaphorical, but instead of a Welcome doormat, Jenny Jones’s narrator concluded, ‘What I need’s a mat to shout: / “Go Away”, “Be Off”, “Keep Out”!’
