Here’s a rope …

"If the little
Ones say, Daddy, play horse, here's
A rope - does he answer like a joke:
I seen enough rope for today? 
Or does his face light up like a
Bonfire of joy and does he say:
It's a good and dandy world we live
In. ..."

The enchanted boat

"My soul is an enchanted boat,
Which, like a sleeping swan, doth float
Upon the silver waves of thy sweet singing;
And thine doth like an angel sit
Beside a helm conducting it,
Whilst all the winds with melody are ringing.
It seems to float ever, forever ..."
