Explore "Little Elfie" by George MacDonald on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
I have a puppet-jointed child, / She's but three half-years old; / Through lawless hair her eyes gleam wild / With looks both shy and bold.
Like little imps, her tiny hands / Dart out and push and take; / Chide her -- a trembling thing she stands, / And like two leaves they shake.
