POEMS FROM NA KEIKI O HAWAII: IT WASN'T IN HIM, by BEATRICE KIRSTEN HOFGAARD First Line: When hugh and bess saw mother come Last Line: "is in bess -- please kiss." | |||
When Hugh and Bess saw Mother come Out of the kitchen they knew that some Cakes had been hidden out of sight. For their noses told them quite A wonderful tale as they tiptoed in. After a moment cheeks and chin Were covered with a sticky paste, And the children in their haste Forgot the time, the rules, the place! Then in a mirror, behold, -- a face! They gasped and almost choked, for there Stood Mother by the kitchen chair! Sadly, she surveyed her Hugh. "I didn't think it was in you!" "It isn't all, for some of this Is in Bess -- please kiss." | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...POEMS FROM NA KEIKI O HAWAII: HE COULDN'T HELP IT by BEATRICE KIRSTEN HOFGAARD POEMS FROM NA KEIKI O HAWAII: HERO WORSHIP by BEATRICE KIRSTEN HOFGAARD POEMS FROM NA KEIKI O HAWAII: HOOKANO by BEATRICE KIRSTEN HOFGAARD POEMS FROM NA KEIKI O HAWAII: PRAYER FOR BIDDY by BEATRICE KIRSTEN HOFGAARD A PSALM OF TRAVEL by GEORGE SANTAYANA A LETTER FROM ITALY by JOSEPH ADDISON MENAPHON: SEPHESTIA'S [CRADLE] SONG TO HER CHILD by ROBERT GREENE PEG OF LIMAVADDY by WILLIAM MAKEPEACE THACKERAY A JEWISH FAMILY; IN A SMALL VALLEY OPPOSITE ST.
