DICKEY, by MRS. WILBUR BELL

First Line: I hear the sound of pattering feet
Last Line: Without this boy across the street.
Subject(s): Boys; Neighbors
I hear the sound of pattering feet,
I hear the prattling accents sweet;
And so I turn again to greet
The little boy across the street.
I see the faltering little feet,
I see the hand stretched out to meet
The arms I offer, to entreat
The little boy across the street.
Ah! somehow in this still retreat
With all the season's joys replete,
Life surely could not be complete
Without this boy across the street.
