Miss Anath's room |
Good morning! "Will you walk into my parlour?" Said Miss Anath to the slave;
"'Tis the prettiest little parlour That ever you did spy.
The way into my parlour Is up a winding stair;
And I have many curious things To show you when you're there."
"Oh, no, no," said the little slave;
"To ask me is in vain; For who goes up Your winding stair Can ne'er come down again."
