Gobolinks; or, Shadow Pictures for Young and Old
THE NYMPHS AND THE OSTRICHES

Two pious little nymphs are kneeling here—

Two double-headed ostriches above them;

And on their backs two gallant knights appear—

Perhaps they'll see the little nymphs and love them.

A CONVENIENCE

The shadow-rack stands in the Shadow-man's hall;

It holds shadow-canes and umbrellas, and all

The various things that the Gobolinks use

When they go for a walk to get rid of the blues.

ENTOMOLOGY

These are some insects that dwell in the grass

And nip at the gobolinks' toes as they pass.

Their legs are uneven, their bodies are queer.

Their habits are very uncertain, I fear.
