A bear and a bunny
Had plenty of money.
They went to the store
For carrots and honey.
When the bear and the bunny
Said: “Carrots and honey!”
The man in the store
Cried: “Where is your money?”
How strange and how funny,
They really had money
And that’s how they bought
Their carrots and honey!
THE WIND
I saw you toss the kites on high
And blow the birds about the sky.
And all around I heard you pass
Like ladies’ skirts across the grass.
Oh, wind, blowing all day long,
Oh, wind, that sings so loud a song !
I saw the different things you did.
But always you yourself, you hid.
I felt you push, I heard you call,
I could not see yourself at all.
Oh, wind, that sings so loud a song !
The woods are lovely, dark and deep!
NO ENEMIES
You have no enemies, you say?
Alas! My friend, the boast is poor;
He who has mingled in the fray
Of duty, that the brave endure,
Must have made foes! If you have none,
Small is the work that you have done.
You’ve hit no traitor on the hip,
You’ve dashed no cup from perjured lip,
You’ve never turned the wrong to right
You’ve been a coward in the fight.
By Mackay
BED IN SUMMER.
In winter I get up at night
And dress by yellow candle light
In summer quite the other way
I have to go to bed by day.
I have to go to bed and see
The birds still hopping on the three
Or hear the grown – up people’s feet
Still going past me in the street
And doesn’t it seem hard to you
When all the sky is clear and blue
And I should like so much to play
I have to go to bed by day.
