Books with title Mother Goose for Grown-Ups

In memory of other days,Dear critic, when your whispered praiseCheered on the limping pen.How short, how sweet those younger hours,How bright our suns, how few our showers,Alas, we knew not then!If but, long leagues across the seas,The trivial charm of rhymes like theseShall serve to link us twainAn instant in the olden spellThat once we knew and loved so well,I have not worked in vain!

omewhere in that uncertain "long ago,"Whose dim and vague chronology is allThat elfin tales or nursery fables know,Rose a rare spirit,—keen, and quick, and quaint,—Whom by the title, whether fact or feint,Mythic or real, Mother Goose we call.Of Momus and Minerva sprang the birthThat gave the laughing oracle to earth:A brimming bowl she bears, that, frothinghighWith sparkling nonsense, seemeth non-sense all;Till, the bright, floating syllabub blown by,Lo, in its ruby splendor doth upshineThe crimson radiance of Olympian wineBy Pallas poured, in Jove's own banquet-hall.The world was but a baby when she came;So to her songs it listened, and her nameGrew to a word of power, her voice a spellWith charm to soothe its infant wearyingwell.But, in a later and maturer age,Developed to a dignity more sage,Having its Shakspeares and its Words-worths now,Its Southeys and its Tennysons, to wearA halo on the high and lordly brow,Or poet-laurels in the waving hair;Its Lowells, Whittiers, Longfellows, to singBallads of beauty, like the notes of spring,The wise and prudent ones to nursery useLeave the dear lyrics of old Mother Goose.

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.
