Page 105 - BETWEEN the dark and the daylight, When the night is beginning to lower, Comes a pause in the day's occupations, That is known as the Children's Hour. I hear in the chamber above me The patter of little feet, The sound of a door that is opened, And voices soft and sweet. From my study I see in the lamplight, Descending the broad hall stair, Grave Alice, and laughing Allegra, And Edith with golden hair.

Down the street, with laughter and shout, Glad in the freedom of school let out...
Page 105 - ... the mists of the deep Where the foe's haughty host in dread silence reposes, What is that which the breeze o'er the towering steep, As it fitfully blows...
Page 37 - Peeping, peeping, here and there, In lawns and meadows everywhere, Coming up to find the spring, And hear the robin redbreast sing ; Creeping under children's feet, Glancing at the violets sweet, Growing into tiny bowers, For the dainty meadow flowers : — We are small, but think a minute Of a world with no grass in it...
Page 46 - The name of a person addressed should be separated from the rest of the sentence by a comma or commas.
Page 64 - At last, when the shadows of evening were falling, And the sun, their great father, his children was calling, Four sunbeams sped into the west. All said, " We have found that in seeking the pleasure Of others, we fill to the full our own measure," — Then softly they sank to their rest.
Page 63 - FOUR little sunbeams came earthward one day, Shining and dancing along on their way, Resolved that their course should be blest.
