from THE KITTEN AND THE FALLING LEAVES William Wordsworth c. 1804 ============================================== Where is he, that giddy Sprite, Blue-cap, with his colours bright, Who was blest as bird could be, Feeding in the apple-tree; Made such wanton spoil and rout, Turning blossoms inside out: Hung--head pointing towards the ground-- Fluttered, perched, into a round Bound himself, and then unbound; Lithest, gaudiest Harlequin! Prettiest Tumbler ever seen! Light of heart and light of limb; What is now become of Him? (63-75) ======== ========
