First Line: Sometimes she tells him ghost stories
Last Line: As I am.
Subject(s): Child Care; Household Employees; Baby Sitters; Governesses; Servants; Domestics; Maids
Sometimes she tells him ghost stories --
He sits enchanted.
Often she reads to herself from a little red testament.
Tonight, after one short ghost story,
She is reading aloud to him
From the little red testament.
I do not see them,
But I think he must be
Enchanted with her voice,
As I am.
