  A garden grows for thy delight,
  With roses yellow, red, and white.
  But, O my child, beware, beware!
  Touch not the roses growing there,
  For every rose a thorn doth bear.

• Thus when a barber and a collier fight, The barber beats the luckless collier-white; The dusty collier heaves his ponderous sack, And big with vengeance beats the barber-black. In comes the brick-dust man, with grime o'erspread, And beats the collier and the barber-red: Black, red, and white in various clouds are tost, And in the dust they raise the combatants are lost.

• I remember, I remember
  The roses, red and white,
  The violets, and the lily-cups,
  Those flowers made of light!
  The lilacs, where the robin built,
  And where my brother set
  The laburmum on his birthday,-
  The tree is living yet.

• Inside the snow globe on my father's desk, there was a penguin wearing a red-and-white-striped scarf. When I was little my father would pull me into his lap and reach for the snow globe. He would turn it over, letting all the snow collect on the top, then quickly invert it. The two of us watched the snow fall gently around the penguin. The penguin was alone in there, I thought, and I worried for him. When I told my father this, he said, "Don't worry, Susie; he has a nice life. He's trapped in a perfect world.
