Piled high with cases in my father's name;
Piled high, packed large,--where, creeping in and out

Of a mastodon, I nibbled here and there
At this or that box, pulling through the gap,
In heats of terror, haste, victorious joy,

Under my pillow, in the morning's dark,
An hour before the sun would let me read!

At last, because the time was ripe,
I chanced upon the poets.
