The Long Ago Doll
marjourie barrows
Way up in Grandma's attic where
some dusty little shadows creep,
I found my mother's Mandy Claire
Inside a trunk asleep
Her yellow dress was trimmed with lace,
Her hair was very black and thin,
and camphor balls were in the place
That she was dreaming in
And long ago....and long ago...
A little girl that used to be
Left Mandy Claire a sleeping so
Before there was a me
So Mandy Claire is waiting till...
But I got sort of lonesome then
And while she slept there very still
I tiptoed out again
