Little things that no one needs -- br Little things to joke about -- br Little landscapes, done in beads. br Little morals, woven out, br Little wreaths of gilded grass, br Little brigs of whittled oak br Bottled painfully in glass; br These are made by lonely folk. br br Lonely folk have lines of days br Long and faltering and thin; br Therefore -- little wax bouquets, br Prayers cut upon a pin, br Little maps of pinkish lands, br Little charts of curly seas, br Little plats of linen strands, br Little verses, such as these.
