Della Hodgson James Poems

Hello! Nora! Hello! Gertie, too!
Hello, Eliza, and Birtha Dean!
Sarah, Eve, and Alice, all,
Who hath my seat-mates been.
...

A big polecat came visiting 
Our chicken coop one night,  
But to awaken my husband from sleep
Usually meant a tongue fight.
...

Daily, hourly, as we live, we meet
Different phases of life,
New revelations, deceit
Sham, and shallowness,
...

Oh! Ho! Oh! Hum!
  De Doodle De-dum!
I want to get back for a spell,
  They say there are pleasures
...

O pretty white birds
  How we love you.
Won't you come near us again?
  We had no thought
...

RHYTHM

The song of the wind
A murmuring stream,
...

Tonight we sit by the fireside
The lights are dim and low.
The dancing flames upon the hearth
Give off a mellow glow.
...

God made this world
  A beautiful place,
Then smiled upon it
  In kindly grace.
...

Hello! There my friend
  How do you do, my dear.
I'm sending you a Maybee
  To buzz about your ear.
...

On a slender bough ‘twas hanging
Kissed by the morning breeze,
It's dewy fragrance clinging
As it swayed to and fro with ease. The radiant pink of springtime
...
