THE grouse that lives on the moorland wide
Is filled with a most ridiculous pride ;
He thinks that it all belongs to him
...
You walk in your orchard, you sit in your
bower
Mid plentiful treasure of fruit and of flower ;
But you shall have pleasaunces brighter than
...
YOU'VE stolen all our mushrooms !
When friends come in to tea
In Fairyland it is the rule
To offer them a satin stool ;
...
OF all the birds the fairies love the skylark much
the best ;
They come with little fairy gifts to seek his hidden
...
THOUGH the fairies meet by night
In the moonlit spaces,
Often in the morning light
...
I HEARD a little tiny noise behind the cup-
board door
And something soft and small and quick
flashed right across the floor.
...
I SHALL be a lady
As pretty as you please,
And I shall have a garden
With lots of flowers and trees,
...
WHEN mother comes each morning
She wears her oldest things,
She doesn't make a rustle,
...
THE cuckoo is a tell-tale,
A mis chief -making bird;
He flies to East, he flies to West
And whispers into every nest
...
WOULDN'T it be lovely if the rain came down
Till the water was quite high over all the town?
If the cabs and buses all were set afloat,
And we had to go to school in a little boat?
