Another child, far, far away. And in another garden, play. But knocking on the window, call That child to hear you. He intent Is all on his play-business bent. He does not hear; he will not look. Nor yet be lured out of this book For long ago, the truth to say. He has grown up and gone away. And it is but a child of air That lingers in the garden there.
