87 ページ - Here I come creeping, smiling everywhere; All round the open door, Where sit the aged poor; Here where the children play, In the bright and merry May, I come creeping, creeping everywhere.
80 ページ - I'd sit in the middle And hold by both ends; Oh, what a bright cradle 'twould be! I would call to the stars To keep out of the way, Lest we should rock over their toes; And then I would rock Till the dawn of the day, And see where the pretty moon goes.
58 ページ - WHAT do we plant when we plant the tree? We plant the ship, which will cross the sea. We plant the mast...
64 ページ - The goldenrod is yellow, The corn is turning brown, The trees in apple orchards With fruit are bending down ; The gentian's bluest fringes Are curling in the sun ; In dusty pods the milkweed Its hidden silk has spun ; The sedges flaunt their harvest In every meadow nook, And asters by the brookside Make asters in the brook; From dewy lanes at morning The grapes...
59 ページ - A dreamer dropped a random thought; 'twas old, and yet 'twas new , A simple fancy of the brain, but strong in being true. It shone upon a genial mind, and lo! its light became A lamp of life, a beacon ray, a monitory flame.

88 ページ - My school bell rings in the rippling stream, Which hides itself, like a schoolboy's dream, Under the shadow and out of sight, But laughing still for its own delight. My schoolmates there are the birds and bees, And the saucy squirrel, more dull than these, For he only learns, in all the weeks, How many chestnuts will fill his cheeks. My teacher is patient, and never yet A lesson of hers did I once forget, For wonderful lore do her lips impart, And all her lessons are learned by heart.
59 ページ - A little spring had lost its way Amid the grass and fern; A passing stranger scooped a well Where weary men might turn.
96 ページ - THERE is the national flag! He must be cold indeed who can look upon its folds rippling in the breeze without pride of country. If he be in a foreign land, the flag is companionship and country itself with all its endearments. Who, as he sees it, can think- of a state merely? Whose eyes, once fastened upon its radiant trophies, can fail to recognize the image of the whole nation ? It has been called a floating piece of poetry...
23 ページ - The stars upon it were to the pining nations like the bright morning stars of God, and the stripes upon it were beams of morning light. As at early dawn the stars shine forth even while it grows light, and then as the sun advances that light breaks into banks and streaming lines of color, the glowing red and intense white striving together, and ribbing the horizon with bars effulgent, so, on the American flag, stars and beams of many-colored light shine out together.
