The Doll Upon The Topmost Bough [Rhyme For Gloriana]

Title:     The Doll Upon The Topmost Bough [Rhyme For Gloriana]
Author: Vachel Lindsay [More Titles by Lindsay]

This doll upon the topmost bough,
This playmate-gift, in Christmas dress,
Was taken down and brought to me
One sleety night most comfortless.

Her hair was gold, her dolly-sash
Was gray brocade, most good to see.
The dear toy laughed, and I forgot
The ill the new year promised me.

[The end]
