DO YOU KNOW HER?
I have a little friend who doesn’t like to mend,
To dust, or set the table, or even make abed;
The very thought of sweeping nearly sets her off a-weeping,
And she always goes about it as though her feet were lead.
She “hates” to rock the baby, and says that some day, maybe,
She’ll go away, and linger where they have ho babies ’round
To keep folks busy rocking; but really this is shocking,
And she doesn’t mean a word of what she says, I will be bound.
’Tis true she cannot bear to walk around the square
To buy a spool of cotton or stamps for mamma’s mail,
And it’s much against her wishes that she’s set to washing dishes
While to speak of darning stockings is enough to make her pale’
In fact, she wants to shirk everything resembling work;
And the only thing she does enjoy, so far as I can say
Is to take her doll and book, and within some quiet nook
To read of elves and fairies and dream the hours away.
—E. L. Sylvester, in Harper’s Young People.
