The Swing

    How do you like to go up in a swing, 
    Up in the air so blue. 
            
         Oh! I think, it is the pleasantest thing,
          Ever a child can do! 
    Up in the air and over the wall, 
    Till I can see so wide. 

           Rivers, trees, cattel and all, 
           Over the countryside
 
     Till look down to the garden
     Down on the roof so brown. 
      
               Up in the air I go flying again, 
               Up in the air and down. 



                                  -Robert Louis Stevenson

A Moonbeam Comes

  Deep in the night;    When all is still,    A moonbeam climbs the window-sill.   Over your bed;    It softly flies,    To see if sleep has closed your eyes.      A pinch of gold;    Some fairy land,    Is clasped within that moonbeam's hand.    And if by chance;    Your are not asleep,    It comes tip-toe on gentle feet.    To touch your eyes;   With golden beam,    And take you to the land of dreams . 

A Happy Child

Enjoy this poem      My house is red - a little house     A happy child am I .     I laugh and play the whole day long.      I hardly ever cry.            I have a tree, a green, green tree,      To shade me from the sun;      And under it I often sit,      When all my play is done.
