Стр. 130 - Ere the crocus bold ; Ere the early primrose Opes its paly gold, Somewhere on a sunny bank Buttercups are bright ; Somewhere 'mong the frozen grass Peeps the Daisy white.
Стр. 6 - THE POOR MAN'S GARDEN. AH yes, the poor man's garden ! It is great joy to me, This little, precious piece of ground Before his door to see ! The rich man has his gardeners, — His gardeners young and old ; He never takes a spade in hand, Nor worketh in the mould. It is not with the poor man so, Wealth, servants, he has none ; And all the work that's done for him, Must by himself be done.

Стр. 38 - The oak-tree of the forest Both east and west shall fly ; And the blessings of a thousand lands Upon our ship shall lie ! , For she shall not be a man-of-war, Nor a pirate shall she be, But a noble, Christian merchant-ship, To sail upon the sea. Then sing for the oak-tree, The monarch of the wood ; Sing for the oak-tree, That groweth green and good ; That groweth broad and branching Within the forest shade ; That groweth now, and yet shall grow When we are lowly laid ! Mary Howitt.
Стр. 54 - I procured a cage, and placed it under the piazza, where by its call it soon attracted the passing flocks, such is the attachment they have for each other.

Стр. 123 - To make the river flow. The clouds might give abundant rain, The nightly dews might fall, And the herb that keepeth life in man Might yet have drunk them all. Then wherefore, wherefore were they made, All dyed with rainbow light, All...
