Little Son
581-5
When twilight shakes her hourglass at the sun
And fairies froin their poppled fastness flee,
Then, little boy, with empty arms I wait
To sing you: "Bobby Shafto's gone to sea"
I like to think that up among the stars
We used…

A Home Picture
1853
Ben Fisher had finished his hard day's work,
And he wat at his cottage door;
His good wife Kate sat by his side,
And the moonlight danced on the floor
Her beams were plear and bright
As when he and Kate, twelve years…

Cross Lots
4646
Straight it ran through buttercups,
Blue eyed grass and timothy,
Clover, where the wild bee sups
And the tall weed waving free:
Just a little trodden lane
Narrow as a mower's swath
Oh, to set my feet again
In that little…
The Other Side of It

She found his love was growing cold,
So back to ma she came:
Vowed he was cold, but never told
His dinners were the same,

AN ODE TO SOUTH DAKOTA
Anna Quinn
52812
There's a land of milk and honey
There's a land of golden grain,
There's a land of waving corn fields,
There's a land of plenty rain
There's a land where all are happy,
There's a land where all are blest:

All the World to Me
1477
I love you 'tis the simplest way
The thing I feel to tell;
Yet if I told it all the day,
You'd never guess how well:
You are my comfort and my light-
My very life you seem:
I think of you all day-all night

All through the house our monarch makes
That sign and seal of his reign

The Hirschman Clock

April eighteenth at five o'clock
The Hirschman clock was ticking:
It watched the Kearny-Market block
And kept the minutes clicking
Alas! when thirteen told that clook
There came a mighty earthquake shock
Oh! woe to thee,…
The Worker and the Drone

A tolling bee from flower to flower,
Made baste to gather royal sweets,
Then homeward with his nectar load-
Each day the willing task repeats
And when the winds of winter blow,
And flowers no longer yield…

The little red school house is wreck- ed and torn down,

I would drink a toast "New Frisco,"
Our beautiful city of godl;

And health to her gallants bold
Here's health to her patient mothers,
To her fathers old and gray;

Do you miss me where you are---
You who held me dear?
While you roam from star to star,
Do you pause to hear
If there be a pleading cry
From the world you knew,
On the restless wind-swept by,
Calling, calling,…

TOIL
GRACE G BOSTWICK

He sought for peace; he drifted here and there
In many lands, and alien tongues he spoke;
In vain upon his knees within a cell,
The monastery's calm he did invoke
And then at last when Time had filched his youth…
Watering the Lambs

Watering the Lambs
Little drops of water
Break the hardest rocks,
Little drops of water
Swell the Lambkins stocks;
Little drops of water-
And other little drops-
Fill the largest buckets
In the bucket-shops
