A Wish


  • I wish that I had been a bird,
    A snow-bird would be best of all,
    Then I would sit up in a tree
    And stay right through from spring ‘till fall.

    I’d sit up in the branches high
    And hear the wind a-wailing by.
    And feel the snow-flakes downward fall,
    And oh, I know I’d love it all.

    I’d see the sun a-shining bright
    O’er meadows, making mellow light.
    At night, when moonbeams crystal shone,
    I’d hide away ‘till dark had flown.

    I’d see the trees and fields snow-bound
    And watch the ice king track around.
    Then, when the spring’s warm breeze would blow,
    I’d stay to see old winter go.

Autumn's Rainbow


  • Like a rainbow circling overhead,
    Are leaves of the maple, gold and red,
    And yellow and violet, golden and brown
    A shower of leaves is falling down.

    Fluttering sadly in their last flight,
    The autumn leaves make a pretty sight.
    Covering the earth with a golden glow,
    They make for the earth a bright rainbow.
