Mrs. Long always glad to see you
The stereoscope always ready to show you
faraway
Places to dream about
Mrs. Long asking what are you looking for today
When I wanted Leaves of Grass or alfred north
whitehead
She would go to the big library uptown and I now
know
Hat in hand to ask to borrow so that I might
borrow
