PHYLLIS'S SLIPPERS, by                    
First Line: Before the firelight's genial glow
Last Line: To clasp so close such dainty feet.
Subject(s): Feet


BEFORE the firelight's genial glow
She sits, and dreams of waltzes sweet,
Nor heeds the curious gleams that show
Grandmamma's slippers on her feet.

Ah, happy slippers, thus to hold
So rare a burden! It were meet
That you should be of beaten gold
To clasp so close such dainty feet.
