THE UNSEEN PLAYMATE
When children are playing alone on the green,
In comes the playmate that never was seen.
When children are happy and lonely and good,
The Friend of the Children comes out of the wood.

Nobody heard him, and nobody saw,
His is a picture you never could draw,
But he's sure to be present, abroad of at home,
When children are happy and playing alone.

He lies in the laurels, he runs on the grass,
He sings when you tinkle the musical glass;
When ever you are happy and cannot tell why,
The Friend of the Children is sure to be by!

He love to be little, he hates to be big,
It is he that inhabits the caves that you dig;
It is he when you play with your soldiers of tin
That sides with the Frenchmen and never can win.

It is he, when at night you go off to your bed,
Bids you go to sleep and not trouble your head;
For wherever they're lying, in cupboard or shelf,
It is he will take care of your playthings himself !
Robert Louis Stevenson
Stephen Grellet
I shall pass through this world but once. Any good,
therefore, that I can show to any human being, let
me do it now. Let me not defer nor neglect it, for I
shall not pass this way again...
