Well, mind, here we have + 

our little son beside us: + 

a little diversion before breakfast! + 

Come, we’ll walk down the road + 

till the bacon will be frying. + 

We might better be idle? + 

A poem might come of it? + 

Oh, be useful. Save annoyance + 

to Flossie and besides⁠—the wind! + 

It’s cold. It blows our + 

old pants out! It makes us shiver! + 

See the heavy trees + 

shifting their weight before it. + 

Let us be trees, an old house, + 

a hill with grass on it! + 

The baby’s arms are blue. + 

Come, move! Be quieted! + 
