Little Aglae

By Walter Savage Landor (1775–1864)

To Her Father, on Her Statue Being Called Like Her

FATHER! the little girl we see
Is not, I fancy, so like me;
You never hold her on your knee.

When she came home, the other day,
You kiss’d her; but I cannot say	5
She kiss’d you first and ran away.
