My Inside Self
        by Rachel Field

        My Inside-Self and my Outside-Self
        Are different as can be.
        My Outside-Self wears gingham smocks,
        And very round is she,
        With freckles sprinkled on her nose,
        And smoothly parted hair,
        A clumsy feet that cannot dance
        In heavy shoes and square.

        But, oh, my little Inside-Self...
        In gown of misty rose
        She dances lighter than a leaf
        On blithe and twinkling toes;
        Her hair is blowing gold, and if
        You cahnced her face to see,
        You would not think she could belong
        To staid and sober me!
