Fairy-look kind


A pesky nightmare Hangs heavy on the mind But should not scare Dawn puts it in the grind Reassurances then blare For oneself to find Making the vision clear Then nightmares unwind And no more scare The fairy-look find

My mother's muse


My mother's muse--I wrote this for The Tribune in 1887
हाथ बड़े हत्यारों के
सर बड़े सरदारों के
कान बड़े कंगालों के 
पाँव बड़े आवारों के     
Butchers have big hands
Bosses have big heads
Insolvents have big ears
Vagrants have big feet
