Book Description
They all climbed up on a high board-fence-Nine little Goblins, with green-glass eyes-Nine little Goblins that had no sense, And couldn't tell coppers from cold mince pies;And they all climbed up on the fence, and sat-And I asked them what they were staring at.And the first one said, as he scratched his headWith a queer little arm that reached out of his earAnd rasped its claws in his hair so red-"This is what this little arm is fer!"And he scratched and stared, and the next one said"How on earth do you scratch your head?"And he laughed like the screech of a rusty hinge-Laughed and laughed till his face grew black;And when he choked, with a final twingeOf his stifling laughter, he thumped his backWith a fist that grew on the end of his tailTill the breath came back to his lips so pale.And the third little Goblin leered round at me-And there were no lids on his eyes at all-And he clucked one eye, and he says, says he,"What is the style of your socks this fall?"And he clapped his heels-and I sighed to seeThat he had hands where his feet should be.Then a bald-faced Goblin, gray and grim, Bowed his head, and I saw him slipHis eyebrows off, as I looked at him, And paste them over his upper lip;And then he moaned in remorseful pain-"Would-Ah, would I'd me brows again!"And then the whole of the Goblin bandRocked on the fence-top to and fro, And clung, in a long row, hand in hand, Singing the songs that they used to know-Singing the songs that their grandsires sungIn the goo-goo days of the Goblin-tongue.And ever they kept their green-glass eyesFixed on me with a stony stare-Till my own grew glazed with a dread surmise, And my hat whooped up on my lifted hair, And I felt the heart in my breast snap toAs you've heard the lid of a snuff-box do.And they sang, "You're asleep! There is no board-fence, And never a Goblin with green-glass eyes!-'Tis only a vision the mind inventsAfter a supper of cold mince-pies, -And you're doomed to dream this way," they said, -"And you sha'n't wake up till you're clean plum dead!"
