Little maidens, when you look <br />On this little story-book, <br />Reading with attentive eye <br />Its enticing history, <br />Never think that hours of play <br />Are your only HOLIDAY, <br />And that in a HOUSE of joy <br />Lessons serve but to annoy: <br />If in any HOUSE you find <br />Children of a gentle mind, <br />Each the others pleasing ever-- <br />Each the others vexing never-- <br />Daily work and pastime daily <br />In their order taking gaily-- <br />Then be very sure that they <br />Have a life of HOLIDAY.<br /><br />Lewis Carroll<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/acrostic/
