When little Louis came to stay

"When little Louis came to stay" was the first line of an untitled epistolary poem that was written by J.R.R. Tolkien.

Poem excerpt
When little Louis came to stay
his thanks in verse he used to say,
and turn a graceful compliment,
which by return of post he sent.*
This custom all should imitate
on whom a lively muse doth wait.
