Mary “Minnie”, Isabella “Ella” and Emily “Emmie” Drury (August 1869) 

Three little maidens, weary of the rail – 

Three pairs of little ears, listening to a tale – 

Three little hands, held out in readiness 

For three little puzzles, very hard to guess – 

Three pairs of little eyes, open wonder-wide 

At three little scissors lying side by side – 

Three little mouths, that thanked an unknown friend 

For one little book he undertook to send – 

Tho’ whether they’ll remember a friend, or book, or day, 

In three little weeks, is more than I can say.

Lorina, Alice and Edith Liddell 

To Lorina, Alice and Edith Liddell. Christmas 1861. 

Little maidens, when you look 

On this little story-book, 

Reading with attentive eye 

Its enticing history, 

Never think that hours of play 

Are your only HOLIDAY, 

And that in a HOUSE of joy

Lessons serve but to annoy: 

If in any HOUSE you find 

Children of a gentle mind, 

Each the others pleasing ever – 

Each the others vexing never – 

Daily work and pastime daily 

In their order taking gaily – 

Then be very sure that they 

Have a life of HOLIDAY.
