Poem August 8, 1903 Issue

A Hint

Margaret E. Sangster

If only you'll think of it, dearie,
When people are vexing and rude,
And be pleasant for two,
When one's scolding at you,
You will conquer the contrary mood.

If only you'll think of it, dearie,
When a certain troublesome elf,
With peas in his shoes,
And a look of the blues,
Comes calling upon you, himself,—

If only you'll think of it, dearie,
And laugh, like the sun, in his face,
He will scamper away;
You'll be happy all day;
And I'd like to be in your place.

Margaret E. Sangster.
