DEDICATION
TO OLD FRIENDS WITH YOUNG HEARTS AND YOUNG HEARTS GROWING OLD.
Dear Friends of our youth, should you happen to look
At the curious things in this curious book,
And should you, with quizzical countenance, ask
The how and the why of our curious task—
We could truly reply
To the query of why—
To the smile on your lip, and your questioning eye,
That the work was begun
In a spirit of fun,
To amuse when the work of the daylight was done;
And continued, because we believed it would be
Amusement to such as were weary as we
To drift for awhile among goblins and elves,
Or haply make shadows and rhymes for themselves.
For though years have passed since we drifted apart,
We're all of us more or less children at heart.
And maybe yourselves and the youngsters 't will please
To dwell for an hour with such creatures as these.
Now, some one has said, in a moment of spleen,
We cannot make pictures of what we've not seen;
But such an assertion deserves only scorn,
For the shape of the Gobolink never was born.
He comes like the marvelous mimes of our dreams,
When one has been supping on salads and creams,
And curious changes of vision take place—
The horse may appear with an elephant face—
The goat with a cane,
