+THE SHADOW SHOW
+
+    Trains with wheels and clouds of smoke,
+    Funny crowds of dodging folk,
+    Trams that run along with sparks,
+    Sofa games and pillow larks,
+    Grubs and ponies, worms and tigers,
+      Sparrows on the tree,
+        Oh!
+    What a lot of lots of things
+      For little boys to see!
+
+    Aeroplanes and paper darts,
+    Woodmen driving broken carts,
+    Minahs on the chimney tops,
+    Swallows dodging near the shops,
+    Barking pups that make the postman
+      Fall down off his bike;
+        Oh!
+    What a lot of lots of things
+      For little boys to like!
+
+    Great big pictures in big books,
+    Pastry from the pastrycook's,
+    Circuses and Mentone sand,
+    Musics of the soldier band,
+    Chocolates wrapped in silver paper
+      So they won't get wet;
+        Oh!
+    What a lot of lots of things
+      For little boys to get!
+
+
+
+
+THE SOLDIER BAND
+
+  My mother and my father are both having tea to drink;
+  Inside the pastry shop they saw me last.
+  They don't know where I've got to, for I've runned from where they think;
+  I heard the soldier band go marching past.
+
+  Oh, tiddley--om--ti--pomp they go! Stamp soldier, stamp!
+  A cab-horse jumped into the air and bumped against a lamp.
+  Ta--rah--ra--rah, the trumpets go telling the boys to come,
+  And always and all the time, bang goes the drum.
+
+  Look at their lovely leather legs! The big brass things they blow!
+    I don't care where I walk or who I meet,
+  I'm following the band away to where the musics grow,
+    I'm hitting my boots heavy on the street.
+
+  For I must find the music man that lets them play so loud,
+    And find the funny place where soldiers go
+  To fill their trumpets with the noise they blow among the crowd--
+    It's not a tea and pastry shop I know.
+
+  Oh, I must find the music place, and stamp along the track,
+    And try to let no trams run over me;
+  If I'm a long, long way from home, the band will play me back,
+    That's if I'm good and never spill my tea.
+
+  When I grow up a soldier man, I'll buy a pole to wag,
+    With silver top and tassels red and blue;
+  I'll tell my little brother to be carrying the flag,
+    While I call out and tell him how to do.
+
+  I don't know where my father is, I've left him in a shop,
+    And if I'm lost there's bound to be a noise;
+  If fathers want their children, they should make the policeman stop
+    The music of the bands that steal the boys.
+
+  Oh, tiddley--om--ti--pomp they go! Stamp, soldier, stamp!
+  A captain with a silver sword is marching them to camp.
+  Ta--rah--ra--rah, the trumpets go, telling the boys to come,
+  And always and all the time, bang goes the drum.
+

+
+
+WHOM THE GODS LOVE
+
+    He's so chubby and happy and wonderful,
+      Dainty and perfectly made,
+    That when he kicks at the sunbeams there,
+    Out on the grass in his cradle chair,
+      Somehow I feel afraid.
+
+    We ought to hide him away, I think,
+      Real beauty was always a bane,
+    If the gods get to know of his baby wiles,
+    Of his firm round limbs, or his magic smiles,
+      They'll want him back again.
+
+
+
+
+LITTLE BOYS
+
+    The roads go out to Macedon, the roads go out to Rome,
+    Some die in snowy Buffaloes and some turn home;
+    I've done the Alps and Apennines, and Naples to the moon,
+    For fancies cover splendid ground in a Summer afternoon.
+    And then I come to gloryland, and whom do I see there
+    But little Boyo Browneyes and Billy Wirehair?
+
+    Little Imps of Gloryland with great big eyes
+    Follow me with questionings and laughter and surprise;
+    Little cheeky pixie boys whom nothing can suppress,
+    Whose pandects, codes and institutes are bound in mother's "Yes."
+
+    When Uncle comes in Sunday clothes they clamour to be kissed,
+    Black-currants sticking to each face and pancakes in each fist.
+    Four fists that is, all over jam, and four black sticky lips
+    Just come from playing motor-chairs and sailing sofa-ships.
+    And if you wander on the lawn untended in the dark
+    With tricycles and wheelbarrows your shins will lose some bark!
+
+    For what's your talk of tidiness and putting things "right there"
+    To little Boyo Browneyes and Billy Wirehair?
+
+    I'm picking up the channel or I'm trucking up the slope,
+    I'm hauling on the shear-head with a length of yellow rope;
+    No matter where I'm wandering, in dreaming or in fact,
+    Wool-loaded down the blacksoil plains or past the desert tract,
+    About the city clamorous with many brakes and bells,
+    It takes no sweep of wizard wand nor moonlit fairy spells
+    To bring me back to kitchen land, and whom do I see there
+    But little Boyo Browneyes and Billy Wirehair!
+
+
+
+
+PEEP SONG
+
+    Oh, Friday night's the laundry night,
+      Down the street in the dark--
+    And Saturday night's the picture night,
+      When bands play in the park.
+
+    But Sunday morning is the time
+      We do the pillow-peep,
+    To see what things the fairies brought
+      While two boys were asleep.
+
+
+
+
+NATURE STUDY
+
+    A mouse jumped into the watering-can
+      And peeped out of the spout,
+    And said: "If it wasn't for that young man
+      I'm sure I could get out!"
+
+    But Sufi sprang from an unknown spot,
+      And the two boys wondered, afraid,
+    When he carried the mouse to a garden plot
+      And played, and played, and played.
+
+
+
+
+THE SKY IN THE POOL
+
+    Down by the glassy pool
+      Sand and water meet,
+    There's a little wooden stool,
+      Marks of little feet.
+
+    When the broth was in the bowl,
+      Mother called to-day;
+    Mother called and no one came,
+      Someone was away.
+
+    Then there came a little boy,
+      Whose broth was very cool,
+    Stuttering in wonderment,
+      "The sky is in the pool!"
+
+    And mother wept, because the clear
+      Depths of all pool-skies,
+    The soul's wonder, the heart's fear,
+
+
+
+
+NEELY LORST
+
+    There's women and there's men as well and little baby things,
+    And some haves only dresses on and some of 'em haves wings,
+    They nibble dandelions for meat, they drink the bubble frorf,
+    They never spill their cocoa-milk all down the table-clorf,
+    They never cry because it hurts, they always eat their brorf.
+
+    Last night we heard a trumpet in the tea-tree down the street,
+    And Padie left the table that was full of things to eat,
+    He galloped for the music that seemed not so far away,
+    And neely found the fairies where the trumpet used to play!
+
+    Our mother went and catched him and he neely wasn't found,
+    He neely fell into the creek through looking round and round.
+    A naughty sea-shell cutted him, he had a bleedy toe,
+    He lorst one Sunday sandal and he didn't seem to know;
+    He only stood and wondered why all fairies live in moons,
+    And go home in the twilight with their trumpets blowing tunes.
+
+
+
+
+A WHISPER SONG
+
+    When you're coming in the door,
+      Please come gently, very gently!
+    Micky might be on the floor!
+      Fact, he might be anywhere!
+    Near the hallstand, by the stair!
+      Hush! step gently, very gently!
+    When you're coming in the door.
+
+    Tip-toe, tip-toe, hush the noise,
+      There's a wide-eye-whisper tune!
+    Micky's making songs for boys
+      Sleepy after the afternoon.
+
+    Anyone seen Micky here?
+      Him that lives above the ceiling?
+    Sometimes far and sometimes near
+      Boys have heard his little squealing.
+
+    Hush you! Hush! I heard a patter
+      On the 'randah in the wet!
+    Now'n again we've heard him chatter,
+      But we've never seen him yet.
+
+    Tip-toe, tip-toe, through the house,
+      'Round the pantry, down the hall!
+    P'raps he's only just a mouse,
+      P'raps he's nuffing real at all.
+
+    Hush you! Hush! I think I hear
+      Just a little noise of humming!
+    If you see him waiting near,
+      Please don't whisper him we're coming.
+
+    Someone smashed the photo-lady;
+      Who upset the pot of musk?
+    Was it Micky? Was it Padie
+      Hunting Micky in the dusk?
+
+    In the after afternoons
+    When there comes big, starey moons,
+      Often we've heard Micky playing
+    By the window, fairy tunes;
+      But I don't know what he's saying
+    In the after afternoons.
+
+    Anyone seen Micky, say,
+      On the Coota-wattle perching?
+    He might know and run away
+      If he knows we're searching, searching.
+
+    When he talks to Bay and me,
+      Micky doesn't seem to know
+    It's too far for boys to see
+      If he's in the trellis tree;
+    It's too damp for boys to go
+      Hunting in the grass below.
+
+    On the rafters in the night
+      I've heard little footmarks trot;
+    And I watch the candle light,
+      Wondering if it's him or not.
+
+    Micky's always everywhere;
+      Watches children while they sleeping;
+    'Round about the attic stair
+      Sometimes mother saw him peeping.
+
+    Micky doesn't like much noise,
+      He's a wide-eye whisper fairy;
+    Very kind to girls and boys,
+      Very shy and most contrary.
+
+    Tip-toe, tip-toe! Hush the noise!
+      There's a wide-eye whisper tune!
+    Micky's telling songs to boys
+      Sleepy after the afternoon.
+
+
+
+
+THE LADY NANCY
+
+    What's the gooder being good?
+      Always every day
+    Somefing comes and compradicks
+      Everyfing I play.
+
+    I was digging in the garden
+      And I digged me toe,
+    Why do I do that for?
+      I don't know!
+
+    Then I goes and chases Sufi,
+      Sufi won't be chased:
+    I falled over the wheelbarrow
+      And hurted all me waist.
+
+    I tooks me little pictures out
+      And laid them in a row,
+    I told the wind to stop away
+      And not come round and blow.
+
+    Up there comes a norful wind
+      And brushed the lot away:
+    Daddie, Gord's been 'noying me
+      All this day.
+
+
+
+
+THE HANGING SWORD
+
+    I used to stride like a warrior
+      All hot for alarms, and game--
+    But I'm not the fellow I was before
+      The little babies came.
+
+    Now, furtive 'mid the city's noise,
+      I pause, I start, I flee!
+    For what would happen to my little boys
+      If a tram ran over me?
+
+
+
+
+NONSENSE IMMORTAL
+
+    From France or Spain or the Himalayas,
+      Out of the hearts of unknown loons,
+    In toothless mouths of old soothsayers,
+    On hairy lips of wandering players
+      Come the lullabies, come the croons.
+
+    Lords have lashed and poets have pondered,
+      Blood has flowed in the runnels deep,
+    Beacons have broken and faiths been squandered;
+    Through dank forests these songs have wandered
+      Quietly crooning our babes to sleep.
+
+    Grandmother melodies, grandmother fancies,
+      Crooned by the Oxus ever endure!
+    Epics of valour and throne romances
+    Have much honour and take big chances,
+      But the clowns who sang for the babes are sure.
+
+    The goblin speaks while in old caves moulder
+      Priest-made destinies and lord-made law,
+    The goblin leered from the monarch's shoulder
+    And, his sight being true and his young heart bolder,
+      'Twas only the goblin the baby saw!
+
+    So the god's death agonies are baby chatter!
+      A ball on the floor of the nursery room
+    The red earth rolls, for what can matter
+    If old John Spratt licks clean his platter
+      And the brown cows go to the broom?
+
+
+
+
+THE ROAD OF NOW AND THEN
+
+    Tinkle, tinkle go the bells,
+      King and prince and silver knight
+    March through stories grandma tells
+      When the winter fire's alight.
+
+    Down the Road of Stories ride
+    People who have never died;
+    Fairies float and trumpets blow,
+    Pretty soldiers fence and bow,
+    On the Road from Long Ago,
+      Long Ago till Now.
+
+    Johnnie Fawkner sailed a boat,
+      There's its picture in the book;
+    Roses, wreaths and banners float
+      'Round the head of Captain Cook.
+
+    In the time when knights were bold
+      Ladies rode with bells and chains,
+    Horses rugged in white and gold,
+      Feather-legged with plaited manes.
+
+    Singing, Watch Europa go,
+      Wearing thinner clothes than silk.
+    Riding from the cattle show
+      On her bull as white as milk.
+
+    Sturt he led a caravan,
+      Kelly made the bankers jump;
+    Leichardt was a camel-man
+      Riding on a camel-hump.
+
+    Down the Road of Stories march
+      Gentle-folk and bullock-men,
+    Cracking whips and wearing starch
+
+    Down the Road of Stories go
+    All the people that we know.
+    Oh! what wonders grandmas show,
+      Spectacles on brow,
+    'Bout the Road from Long Ago,
+      Long Ago, Long Ago,
+    'Bout the Road from Long Ago,
+      Long Ago till Now.
+
+
+
+
+SLEEP SONG
+
+    Half-past bunny-time,
+      'Possums by the moon;
+    Tea and bread-and-honey time,
+      Sleep-time soon.
+
+    Things that poets pant to see,
+      The beautiful, the true,
+    Are nothing to the phantasy
+      The closed eyes view.
+
+
+
+
+KITCHEN LULLABY
+
+    Steady in the kitchen, steady in the hall,
+    Don't let the dipper or the gruel pot fall!
+      The ole blind's flapping
+      And the little dog's snapping
+    At the butcher and the baker and the woodman when they call.
+
+      Ssh! ssh! ssh! for the little boy peeping,
+      Ssh! ssh! ssh! did the milky make him start?
+      Little boy sleeping, sleeping, sleeping,
+      Little boy sleeping at his mother's heart.
+
+    What a lot of noises, carts and buzzing flies!
+    Keep his little hands down, shut his little eyes;
+        For the boys are larking
+        And the dogs are barking
+    And he can't go to bye-low though he tries and tries.
+
+      Ssh! ssh! ssh! for the little boy blinking,
+      Blinking at the fairies who are wanting him to go;
+      Little boy thinking, thinking, thinking,
+      Little boy thinking if he will or no.
+
+    Rubs his little eye for to push the sleep away;
+    Better on the lawn is it? Watching spriggies play?
+        Minahs and starlings,
+        But no such darlings
+    As the little boy that's never been to sleep this day.
+
+      Ssh! ssh! ssh! for the big eyes gleaming,
+      Dee, dee, softly his mother sings;
+      Little boy dreaming, dreaming, dreaming,
+      Fluttering to bye-low on bull-fly wings.
+
+
+
+
+BARTER
+
+    Kiddies must have little shoes
+      Softly buckled round their toes,
+    Rompers wrought in butcher blues,
+      That's the way the money goes.
+
+    In the Summer silky cool
+      Fabrics foaming in the breeze;
+    In the Winter muffling wool--
+      We must buy our kiddies these.
+
+    Woolly gaiters, tasselled hoods,
+      Mantles soft that flow and fall,
+    All the very best of foods,
+      All the very best of all.
+
+    Babies must have songs for sleep,
+      Anxious watchings night and day,
+    Kisses if they laugh or weep,
+      So the ripe hours rush away.
+
+    And for this we pay (it seems
+      We may not serve visions, too)
+    With our high neglected dreams,
+      With great things we meant to do.
+
+
+
+
+FATHER SONG
+
+    They mean such a wonderful lot to me,
+      It's quite absurd how my soul is smitten
+    With Padie, who's four, and Bay, who's three,
+      And Sufi, a Persian kitten!
+
+    So mother must worry, and father must fuss,
+      But I'll fake these songs to a sadder version
+    When manhood steals the boys from us,
+      And the Bottle-o pinches the Persian!
+
+
+
+
+SUNDAY DINNER
+
+    The butcher comed and he bringed no meat,
+      But he crawled in the poultry pen,
+    And he putted his hand among they feet,
+      And catched the father hen.
+
+    He catched it as hard as anything,
+      But it didn't once crowed at all,
+    And he tied its feet with a bundle of string
+      And hanged it up on the wall.
+
+    And now and again its wings went flap,
+      But that didn't frighten me!
+    I runned for my little brother chap
+      To come outside and see.
+
+    The father hen's not crowing now,
+      The ittooest ittoo bit;
+    We're going to tell our father how
+      The butcher's hurted it!
+
+    Our father has mended the bathroom door
+      And the leg of the rocking chair:
+    He mended the fence long time before,
+      And he bought my horse some hair.
+
+    He made the bikes so they wouldn't squeal,
+      And he made the bunny to talk;
+    He hammered some tacks in the engine wheel
+      When the engine couldn't walk.
+
+    And he cured the teddy when it was dead,
+      And he mended the barrow for me--
+    So father will mend the rooster's head
+      Before he haves his tea.
+
+
+
+
+THE CONCERT IN THE GARDEN
+
+    The wheelbarrow wept to the willows
+      And Padie called out for a hymn:
+    He dabbled his boots on the pillows
+      And the minister looked quite grim.
+
+    While the Emu turned the pages
+      The Wallaby sang with zest,
+    Of the error in uncle's wages
+      While the chairs all turned to the West.
+
+    The Baker paused with a frigid stare
+      And his heels apart, of course;
+    And the shell-back sprang from his sunny lair
+      With his hand upon his horse.
+
+    The rooster's grandma nursed the cat,
+      Which uttered nor purr nor sound,
+    While the Platypus followed the Minister's hat
+      Around and round and round.
+
+
+
+
+WHISPER!!!
+
+    Sit up in your beds and hark!
+    Something said "meow" in the dark!
+    Was it a gentleman saying some prayers?
+    Was it a mousie trapped under the stairs?
+    Was it a manager stealing some shares
+    Or a newspaper having a lark?
+    Sit up in your beds and hark!
+    Something said "meow" in the dark!
+    Would you your treasures securely keep,
+    Never turn lamps out and never go sleep.
+
+
+
+
+THE COMING OF BAY
+
+    Bay doesn't stay in the stars any more;
+      He didn't much cry nor care
+    When God pushed him out of a big star door
+      Into the everywhere.
+
+    I ringed him up on the telephome
+      And down he flied to me!
+    Didn't you know how Bay came home?
+      I got the push-cart, see?
+    And wheeled him in the front-yard door
+      Just one way and another,
+    I didn't make mud-marks on the floor,
+    Or scratch the paint on the front-way door,
+      'Cos I am a careful brother;
+    I putted him into the new white cot,
+    I covered him up till he grew quite hot,
+      And then called mother to see;
+    So Bay doesn't stay in the stars any more
+      But only with mother and me.
+
+
+
+
+BABY SONG
+
+    The grandmas talked with worried eyes
+      And said it was a shame--
+    Nobody wanted Littley then
+      Before our Littley came.
+
+    Boyo's nose will be out of joint,
+      He's a toddling baby yet,
+    And now there's another one coming along,
+      Poor little pet!
+
+    But Littley rode through the storm of doubt
+      And the cloud of the troubled brow;
+    Nobody wanted Littley then--
+      But you should hear them now!
+
+
+
+
+SOUL DISCIPLINE
+
+    They say I'm a bad-tempered man,
+      And yet I never swear
+    When flop into my porridge
+      Comes a woolly Teddy Bear!
+
+    They say I'm an impatient man,
+      And yet I never shoot
+    When, after breakfasting, I find
+      Damp toffy in my boot!
+
+    And when my wife and my two sons
+      Are dutifully kissed,
+    I don't go crook if I'm called back
+      When Sufi has been missed!
+
+    I'm always on the scowl and quick
+      To censure or condemn;
+    But, somehow things seem different
+      With little boys like them.
+
+
+
+
+WEEP SONG
+
+    Strike, strike, strike again,
+      Bump them on the head;
+    Every minute somebody,
+      Falls down dead.
+
+    Algernons and Berts
+    Washing out their shirts,
+    Babies in the bed
+    Crying for some bread.
+    Gentlemen with brains,
+    Looking for their trains.
+
+    Strike, strike, strike again,
+      Always on the head;
+    Every minute somebody
+      Drops down dead.
+
+
+
+
+MASTER IN EQUITY
+
+    Did I hear the two boys say,
+    "Two boys have been good to-day?"
+    Santa's schooner's lost a sail,
+    Someone tored it with a nail,
+    What's that mark on Sufi's tail?
+      I dunno, da you?
+    Did boys eat they trifle slow
+      When they mother told them to?
+    I dunno, I dunno,
+      I dunno, da you?
+
+    Who's been cutting Sufi's hair?
+      There's a broken dish I see;
+    Padie, don't be hiding there,
+      Bring my slippers out to me.
+    Both boys have been good they say,
+      Only cried an ittoo bit;
+    Anyone been fighting Bay,
+    Two new scars since yesterday?
+      That was just a weeny hit,
+      'Cos he'd always want to sit
+      On the picture of the train
+      Just when I was reading it.
+    Two boys have been good again.
+    Two boys didn't do some more
+    What they were said not to do,
+    Two boys have been good it's true!
+    On the lawn's a splendid show,
+    Twenteen firewoods in a row!
+    Where does this hand-mirror go?
+    I dunno, I dunno!
+    Wheelmarks on the front-room floor,
+      Sunday cake forks spread out too!
+    Mudprints on the kitchen door--
+
+    Wonder how they got there for?
+    I dunno, I dunno,
+      I dunno, da you?
+
+    Did I hear the two boys say,
+    "Two boys have been good to-day?"
+    Why is mother worried so?
+      All these good things can't be true.
+    Have the boys been good who show
+      Scratches red and bruises blue?
+    I dunno, I dunno,
+      I dunno, da you?
+
+
+
+
+EVENTIDE
+
+    Come and have your bath, boys,
+      Two boys together,
+    Rolling on the lawn all day
+      In the dusty weather.
+    Padie, jump into the water,
+      Soak the brown legs white;
+    Come and have your bath, boys,
+      No heads to-night!
+
+    Boats to sail and feets to scrub
+      Feets and faces too;
+    Sliding 'round the 'namel tub
+      Frowing soap at you;
+    Drop your scooter quick, Bay,
+      Everything's all right,
+    Didn't you hear mother say
+      No heads to-night?
+
+
+
+
+THE ORDER OF THE BED
+
+    Say about the Three Pigs,
+      And what the soldier said,
+    Wynken song and Tom, Tom,
+      And piggy-back to bed.
+
+    Little boys are sleepy, sleepy,
+      Never mind they prayers,
+    Let them wait for mother here,
+      Father's knees for chairs.
+    Sufi, singing like a kettle,
+      Or a nightingale,
+    Puts his nose against our toes
+      And smoothes them with his tail.
+
+    Here comes mother with the blankets
+      Bundled on her chest,
+    Holding them and folding them
+      For two boys' nest.
+    Boys washed and pillows patted,
+      Everything's all right,
+    Picture books to cuddoo up,
+      And please leave the light.
+
+    Hey Dee and Hey Ho!
+      And little Bo-Peep,
+    One story, two songs,
+      To make the boys asleep.
+    Say about Red Riding Hood
+      And what the Bunyip said,
+    Wynken song and Tom, Tom,
+      And piggy-back to bed.
+
+
+
+
+"IDEAS"
+
+    Please can I have a light, mother?
+      I never know what to do
+    When the Three Bears ride on the White Bell-horse,
+    And the Mermaid gallops to Banbury Cross,
+      And the Cheshire Cat says "Moo!"
+
+    Gnomes come round with prickly wings
+      And squeeze in under the clo's,
+    The dark gets full of story things,
+    The window-moon says "Fee, fo, fum!"
+    And the Pigs that went to market come
+      And nibble at my toes!
+
+    Two big eyes walk round the room,
+      Fierce Pirate Ships go by;
+    And Sleeping Beauty straddles a broom
+      And falls all down the sky;
+    The Man in the Moon waits underneath
+    And gobbles her up with great big teeth,
+      And that's what makes me cry!
+
+    The things you tell in the afternoon
+      Get mixed and won't come right;
+    "Fee-fo-fum!" says the Window-Moon--
+    It's the little candle they fear, mother,
+    Will you leave the candle here, mother?
+      Please can I have a light?
+
+
+
+
+MOTHERHOOD
+
+    It would appear that no great pleasures can be
+    Without their merit of trial and urgency:
+    For I do know a lady whose rare joys
+    Wake when she has tucked in two little boys.
+
+
+
+
+GOOD-NIGHT
+
+    Two brown heads on the pillows white....
+    Bye ... good-bye ... that's all to-night.
+
+    Two bikes 'round in the picnic place ...
+    Old horse tied to the apple-case.
+
+    Gentle Jesus ... send the boys,
+    Bats and balls for they winter toys.
+
+    Sufi's naughty ... not 'lowed out....
+    Pigeon feathers blowing about.
+
+    Two bikes 'round in the ... two bikes 'round....
+    Feathers blowing ... the scooter's found.
+
+    God bless Jesus ... Bay's asleep ...
+    Where's my pillow-book? ... Soul to keep.
+
+    Two bikes ... two ... are the stars alight?
+    Bye ... good-bye ... that's all ... t'night.
+
+    Two brown heads on the pillows deep,
+    Two boys mumble theyselfs to sleep.
+
+
+     Transcriber's note
+
+     The original pages each have a verse of "A Whisper Song" appearing
+     as a sidenote. Since this also appears on its own as a poem I removed
+     the sidenoted verses from the text version to make it less disjointed.
+     The sidenoted verses were, however, retained for the html.

+Section  2.  Information about the Mission of Project Gutenberg-tm
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm is synonymous with the free distribution of
+electronic works in formats readable by the widest variety of computers
+including obsolete, old, middle-aged and new computers.  It exists
+because of the efforts of hundreds of volunteers and donations from
+people in all walks of life.
+
+Volunteers and financial support to provide volunteers with the
+assistance they need, is critical to reaching Project Gutenberg-tm's
+goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg-tm collection will
+remain freely available for generations to come.  In 2001, the Project
+Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure
+and permanent future for Project Gutenberg-tm and future generations.

+Section 4.  Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg

+spread public support and donations to carry out its mission of
+increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be
+freely distributed in machine readable form accessible by the widest

+
+The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating
+charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United
+States.  Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a
+considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up
+with these requirements.  We do not solicit donations in locations
+where we have not received written confirmation of compliance.  To
+SEND DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any
+particular state visit https://pglaf.org
+
+While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we
+have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition
+against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who
+approach us with offers to donate.
+
+International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make
+any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from
+outside the United States.  U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff.
+
+Please check the Project Gutenberg Web pages for current donation
+methods and addresses.  Donations are accepted in a number of other
+ways including including checks, online payments and credit card
+donations.  To donate, please visit: https://pglaf.org/donate

+Section 5.  General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic
+works.
+
+Professor Michael S. Hart was the originator of the Project Gutenberg-tm
+concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared
+with anyone.  For thirty years, he produced and distributed Project
+Gutenberg-tm eBooks with only a loose network of volunteer support.
+
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks are often created from several printed
+editions, all of which are confirmed as Public Domain in the U.S.
+unless a copyright notice is included.  Thus, we do not necessarily
+keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition.

+Most people start at our Web site which has the main PG search facility:

+This Web site includes information about Project Gutenberg-tm,
+including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary
+Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to
+subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks.
