There is another sky by Emily Dickinson

There is another sky,
Ever serene and fair,
And there is another sunshine,
Though it be darkness there;
Never mind faded forests, Austin,
Never mind silent fields -
Here is a little forest,
Whose leaf is ever green;
Here is a brighter garden,
Where not a frost has been;
In its unfading flowers
I hear the bright bee hum:
Prithee, my brother,
Into my garden come!

 

 

Snow flakes. by Emily Dickinson



I counted till they danced so
Their slippers leaped the town,
And then I took a pencil
To note the rebels down.
And then they grew so jolly
I did resign the prig,
And ten of my once stately toes
Are marshalled for a jig!

 

Tired Tim   Walter De La Mare

Poor Tired Tim! It's sad for him.
He lags the long bright morning through,
Ever so tired of nothing to do;
He moons and mopes the livelong day,
Nothing to think about, nothing to say;
Up to bed with his candle to creep,
Too tired to yawn, too tired to sleep:
Poor Tired Tim! It
's sad for him.

 

УСТАВШИЙ ТИМ
Бедняжка Тим! Уставший Тим!
С утра устал он от всего,
Устал не делать ничего;
Весь день слоняться и хандрить,
Не думать и не говорить;
К кровати вечером плестись,
Нет сил зевать, и спать нет сил;
Бедняжка Тим! Уставший Тим!

 

Anne P. L. Field

The Christmas Fires

The Christmas fires brightly gleam
And dance among the holly boughs,
The Christmas pudding's spicy steam
With fragrance fills the house,
While merry grows each friendly soul
Over the foaming wassail bowl.

Resplendent stands the glittering tree,
Weighted with gifts for old and young,
The children's faces shine with glee,
And joyous is each tongue,
While lads and lassies come and go 
Under the festive mistletoe.

When suddenly the frosty air
Is filled with music, voices sweet,
Lo! see the Christmas waits are there
Snow-crowned and bare of feet,
Yet high and clear their voices ring,
And glad their Christmas carolling.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Emily Bronte

I Know Not How It Falls on Me

I KNOW not how it falls on me,

This summer evening, hushed and lone;

Yet the faint wind comes soothingly

With something of an olden tone.

Forgive me if I've shunned so long

Your gentle greeting, earth and air!

But sorrow withers e'en the strong,

And who can fight against despair?

 

John Kendrick Bangs

The Little Elf

I MET a little Elf-man, once,

Down where the lilies blow.

I asked him why he was so small

And why he didn’t grow.

He slightly frowned, and with his eye

He looked me through and through.

‘I ’m quite as big for me,’ said he,

‘As you are big for you.’

 

E. Nesbit

The Gift Of Life

Life is a night all dark and wild,
Yet still stars shine:
This moment is a star, my child -
Your star and mine.

Life is a desert dry and drear,
Undewed, unblest;
This hour is an oasis, dear;
Here let us rest.

Life is a sea of windy spray,
Cold, fierce and free:
An isle enchanted is to-day
For you and me.

Forget night, sea, and desert: take
The gift supreme,
And, of life’s brief relenting, make
A deathless dream.

 

Mrs. J. I. McKinney

Snow-Flakes

See the early snow-flakes!

Softly they descend,

Like an orchard blossom

Scattered by the wind.

Here and there they’re flying

Over all the trees,

High above them swarming

Like white-winged bees.

Faster still they’re whirling,

Dancing into sight,

Like a troop of fairies

When the moon is light.

Tripping down the highway

In a reckless gait,

Falling like a feather

Without sound or weight.

On the distant churchyard

Over graves unkept,

Where the leaves have drifted

And the clouds have wept.

Little band of angels

Doing only good,

Making white the meadow

And the lonely wood.

Greeting with light kisses

All they chance to meet,

Leaving shining footprints

All about the street.

Little winter children

Full of life and fun -

Oh! I love the snow-flakes,

Love them every one.

 

Edgar A. Guest

Be A Friend

Be a friend. You don't need money;
Just a disposition sunny;
Just the wish to help another
Get along some way or other;
Just a kindly hand extended
Out to one who's unbefriended;
Just the will to give or lend,
This will make you someone's friend.

Be a friend. You don't need glory.
Friendship is a simple story.
Pass by trifling errors blindly,
Gaze on honest effort kindly,
Cheer the youth who's bravely trying,
Pity him who's sadly sighing;
Just a little labor spend
On the duties of a friend.

Be a friend. The pay is bigger
(Though not written by a figure)
Than is earned by people clever
In what's merely self-endeavor.
You'll have friends instead of neighbors
For the profits of your labors;
You'll be richer in the end
Than a prince, if you're a friend.

Autumn Leaves

In the hush and the lonely silence

Of the chill October night,

Some wizard has worked his magic

With fairy fingers light.

 

The leaves of the sturdy oak trees

Are splendid with crimson and red.

And the golden flags of the maple

Are fluttering overhead.

 

Through the tangle of faded grasses

There are trailing vines ablaze,

And the glory of warmth and color

Gleams through the autumn haze.

 

Like banners of marching armies

That farther and farther go;

Down the winding roads and valleys

The boughs of the sumacs glow.

 

So open your eyes, little children,

And open your hearts as well,

Till the charm of the bright October

Shall fold you in its spell.

 

 

 

 

 

THE CLOCK


There’s a neat little clock,
  In the schoolroom it stands,
And it points to the time
  With its two little hands.

And may we, like the clock,
  Keep a face clean and bright,
With hands ever ready
  To do what is right.

 

 

The Light Of a Smile

If it drizzles and pours,

Is there any reason

The weather indoors

Should be dull, like the season?

There is something makes bright

The cloudiest places;

Can you guess? 'Tis the light

Of the smiles on your faces.

 

Mrs. J. I. McKinney

Why I Smile

I smile because the world is fair;

Because the sky is blue.

Because I find, no matter where

I go, a friend that’s true.

I smile because the earth is green,

The sun so near and bright,

Because the days that o’er us lean

Are full of warmth and light.

I smile as past the yards I go,

Though strange and new the place,

The violets seem my step to know,

And look up in my face.

I smile to hear the robin’s note.

He comes so newly dressed,

A love song throbbing in his throat,

A rose pinned on his breast.

And so the truth I’ll not disown,

Because the spring is nigh;

My heart has somewhat better grown,

And I forget to sigh.

Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star

Twinkle, twinkle, little star!

How I wonder what you are,

Up above the world so high,

Like a diamond in the sky.

 

When the glorious sun is set,

When the grass with dew is wet,

Then you show your little light,

Twinkle, twinkle all the night.

 

In the dark-blue sky you keep,

And often through my curtains peep,

For you never shut your eye,

Till the sun is in the sky.

 

As your bright and tiny spark

Guides the traveller in the dark,

Though I know not what you are,

Twinkle, twinkle, little star!

 

Margaret E. Sangster

Spring in the city

I saw a crocus blooming in the park,

I felt a hint of magic in the air,

I heard faint music sighing everywhere,

And so, as all the world, grew softly dark –

I found again the hope that never dies,

And hungrily, with out-flung arms, I came

Once more to you. And when you spoke my name

I read springtime eternal in your eyes!

 

R.H. Stoddard

Birds

Birds are singing round my window,
Tunes the sweetest ever heard,
And I hang my cage there daily,
But I never catch a bird.

So with thoughts my brain is peopled,
And they sing there all day long:
But they will not fold their pinions
In the little cage of Song.

Kate Greenaway

 

I saw a ship that sailed the sea,

It left me as the sun went down;

The white birds flew, and followed it

To town - to London town.

Right sad were we to stand alone,

And see it pass so far away;

And yet we knew some ship would come -

Some other ship - some other day.

 

Leroy F. Jackson

BUTTERFLY

Butterfly, butterfly,
Sit on my chin,
Your wings are like tinsel,
So yellow and thin.

Butterfly, butterfly,
Give me a kiss;
If you give me a dozen
There’s nothing amiss.

Butterfly, butterfly,
Off to the flowers, -
Wee, soulless sprite
Of the long summer hours.

 

 

 

 

 

The bells of spring are ringing,

Are ringing loud and gay.

To hills and forests they are bringing

Sweet melody today.

The bells of spring are ringing,

Are ringing far and wide.

 Nice days they are bringing

To people and the countryside.

 

 

Fred comes from school one winter day

 As clever as can be,

And wants to show to all around

 How smart a boy is he.

And so at dinner he begins:

“Papa, you think you see

There are two chickens on that dish,

But  now I’ll prove that there are three:

First, this is one and that is two,

As plain as plain can be.

I add the one into the two,

And two and one make three!”

“Just so,” answers his Papa,

“If what you say is three,

I will take one, Mamma takes one,

The third we’ll leave for you.”
