<p>Say, is it dim and grim and all full of fear?<br/>
Not at all, not at all, my pretty dear.<br/>
Will there be no hope? Nothing to desire?<br/>
You shall be comforted sitting by the fire.<br/>
Will no one look at me? love me, if I please?<br/>
You shall doze happy with a little bread and cheese.<br/>
Even the springing grass—will it look pale?<br/>
You shall be gladdened with a little warm ale.<br/>
Shall I be trembling and querulous of tongue?<br/>
You shall be wiser than anybody young.<br/>
When the first thrushes sing, shall I not hear?<br/>
Not at all, not at all, my pretty dear.<br/></p>
