Three girls, between 1880 and 1911?

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/106483638

A handwritten poem, undated, in four verses signed by Eggleston. The poem is about three girls named Marion, Marie, and May who visit Eggleston in his editor's den. In the poem, Eggleston refers to himself as "middle-aged, married, and staid" and "that my head grew long ago gray" suggesting the poem was written in his latter years. The poem is written on the verso of a color illustrated page removed from a book or manuscript. The illustration is of a plant with leaves in fall colors and signed by H.C. Allen.
