The _Rooms_ were cold, the _Hearth_ was grey:
Asleep in the ashes the _Kobold_ lay.
The _Board-Floor_ creaked, [Sidenote: ○]
The _Grey-Mouse_ squeaked,
And the _Kobold_ dreamed its ear he tweaked.
He wrinkled up
His _Forehead_ and _Nose_, [Sidenote: K☊P; ☾♈︎, des.]
And smiled in his sleep,
And curled his _Toes_. [Sidenote: ☾]
