Ther. was an old woman who lived in a hut
Atiou the size of thiekory nut. The - ails weire thick and the ceiling low,
And seldom out -doors - did the old wonianlo.
'She took no paper, and in no book
- Of any iort-was she seen to look; -
Yet she imagined she'snew much more
• Than man or woman had known before...
' Thep talkedin her hearingofwondronctbings,
"Of the dazzling splendor of Eastern kings, -
Of mountains covered with ice -and snow
When all the valley lay green below.
- They spoke of adventures by sea and land,
.0f oceans and seas by a cable_spa_nned,
Of buried treasures; but though she heard, "
She said she didn't believeone word! "
- -
And 'still she lives in her little but
About thesizeof a hickory nut,.
At peace with herself, and quite content - •
- With the way in which her days, are -spent.
r
Little it troubles ter, I suppose,
Because so very little she knows:
For, keeping her doors and windows glut,
Shehas,ishrivelled up in her hickory nut.

• And you, my dears,. Will no larger grow,
If you rest contented with what you. know--;
But &pitiful object yeti will dwell;
