To a Baby

 

To a Baby *

by Anonymous

WHERE did you come from, Baby dear? 
'Out of the everywhere, into here. 

Where did you get your eyes so blue? 

'Out of the sky, as I came through.'

What makes the light in them sparkle and spin? 

'Some of the starry spikes left in.'

What makes your forehead so smooth and high? 

'A soft hand stroked it as I came by.' 

Where did you get that little tear? 

'I found it waiting, when I got here.' 

What makes your cheek like a warm, white rose? 

'I saw something better than anyone knows.' 

Whence that three-cornered smile of bliss? 

'Three angels gave me at once a kiss.' 

Where did you get this pearly ear? 

'God spoke and it came out to hear.'

HOW TO FIND EASTER 

 "THIRTY days hath September, 
Every person can remember; 
But to know when Easter's come 
Puzzles even scholars, some. 

When March the twenty-first is past 

Just watch the silvery moon, 

And when you see it full and round 

Know Easter 'll be here soon. 

After the moon has reached its full 

Then Easter will be here 

The very Sunday after, 

In each and every year. 

And if it hap on Sunday 

The moon should reach its height, 

The Sunday following this event 

Will be the Easter bright.

Little Anemone

 Little Anemone 

ALICE E. ALLEN 

Little Anemone singeth a song Singeth  a song- 

singeth and singeth all the day long.

"What do I care though the winds 

do blow?

Winds rocked my cradle all cov

er'd with snow, 

And brought me sweet dreams in 

the long, long ago.

Winds, too awoke me and helped 

me to grow-

What do I care though the winds 

do blow?

I am a  Wind Flower, myself, you 

know!"
