SHE had other strange habits, e.g. paraffin, which she used for her rabbits without and within. And the hens had a groom for their feathers and legs, till the day hadn't room for the laying of eggs. And she kept an old linnet to act as the gardener, who went about hobblin' and said life was hard on 'er, because she objected to having her face and her wings disinfected all over the place. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE FAERY FOREST by SARA TEASDALE THE LAND OF HEART'S DESIRE by WILLIAM BUTLER YEATS THE FAIRIES by WILLIAM ALLINGHAM THE FAIRY CHILD by JOHN ANSTER THE FORSAKEN MERMAN by MATTHEW ARNOLD THE LITTLE ELF-MAN by JOHN KENDRICK BANGS TAM O' SHANTER by ROBERT BURNS A BOOK OF AIRS: SONG 19.
