Here is a wonderful poem from the fabulous Ella Wheeler Wilcox, from her little book "Poems of Cheer," The book was printed in 1915 so this poem could have been written before then.
Maybe, just maybe it was a new poem written on a new years eve.
Wow! wouldn't that be amazing." Here it is, do enjoy it.
LITTLE BLUE HOOD
"Little Blue Hood is coming now!
And we watch from the window while she goes by.
She has such a bonny, smooth, white brow.
And a fearless look in her long-lashed eye;
And a certain dignity wedded to grace,
Seems to envelope her form and face.
Every morning, in sun or rain,
She walks by the window with sweet, grave air,
And never guesses behind the pane,
We two are watching and thinking her fair;
Loving watching her down the street,
Dear Little Blue Hood, bright and sweet.
Somebody ties that hood of blue
Under the face so fair to see,
Somebody loves her, besides we two,
Somebody kisses her - why can't we?
Dear Little Blue Hood, fresh and fair,
Are you glad we love you, or don't you care?
And we watch from the window while she goes by.
She has such a bonny, smooth, white brow.
And a fearless look in her long-lashed eye;
And a certain dignity wedded to grace,
Seems to envelope her form and face.
Every morning, in sun or rain,
She walks by the window with sweet, grave air,
And never guesses behind the pane,
We two are watching and thinking her fair;
Loving watching her down the street,
Dear Little Blue Hood, bright and sweet.
Somebody ties that hood of blue
Under the face so fair to see,
Somebody loves her, besides we two,
Somebody kisses her - why can't we?
Dear Little Blue Hood, fresh and fair,
Are you glad we love you, or don't you care?
Isn't this just right, in the exact place I wanted to put it. Now I am going to have a cup of tea and a piece of toast and go to my bed. See you all tomorrow.
