Information about the Mission of Project Gutenberg-tm + +Project Gutenberg-tm is synonymous with the free distribution of +electronic works in formats readable by the widest variety of computers +including obsolete, old, middle-aged and new computers. It exists +because of the efforts of hundreds of volunteers and donations from +people in all walks of life. + +Volunteers and financial support to provide volunteers with the +assistance they need, is critical to reaching Project Gutenberg-tm's +goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg-tm collection will +remain freely available for generations to come. In 2001, the Project +Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure +and permanent future for Project Gutenberg-tm and future generations. +To learn more about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation +and how your efforts and donations can help, see Sections 3 and 4 +and the Foundation web page at http://www.pglaf.org. + + +Section 3. Information about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive +Foundation + +The Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation is a non profit +501(c)(3) educational corporation organized under the laws of the +state of Mississippi and granted tax exempt status by the Internal +Revenue Service. The Foundation's EIN or federal tax identification +number is 64-6221541. Its 501(c)(3) letter is posted at +http://pglaf.org/fundraising.

Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg +Literary Archive Foundation + +Project Gutenberg-tm depends upon and cannot survive without wide +spread public support and donations to carry out its mission of +increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be +freely distributed in machine readable form accessible by the widest +array of equipment including outdated equipment. Many small donations +($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt +status with the IRS. + +The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating +charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United +States. Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a +considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up +with these requirements. We do not solicit donations in locations +where we have not received written confirmation of compliance. To +SEND DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any +particular state visit http://pglaf.org + +While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we +have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition +against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who +approach us with offers to donate. + +International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make +any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from +outside the United States. U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff. + +Please check the Project Gutenberg Web pages for current donation +methods and addresses. Donations are accepted in a number of other +ways including checks, online payments and credit card donations. +To donate, please visit: http://pglaf.org/donate + + +Section 5. General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic +works. + +Professor Michael S. Hart is the originator of the Project Gutenberg-tm +concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared +with anyone. For thirty years, he produced and distributed Project +Gutenberg-tm eBooks with only a loose network of volunteer support. + + +Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks are often created from several printed +editions, all of which are confirmed as Public Domain in the U.S. +unless a copyright notice is included. Thus, we do not necessarily +keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition. + + +Most people start at our Web site which has the main PG search facility: + + http://www.gutenberg.org + +This Web site includes information about Project Gutenberg-tm, +including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary +Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to +subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks. + + +</pre> + +</body> +</html> diff --git a/25610-h/images/cover_th.jpg b/25610-h/images/cover_th.jpg Binary files differnew file mode

+ For every kind of beast and man + Is marching in that caravan. + +[Illustration] + + At first they move a little slow, + But still the faster on they go, + And still beside them close I keep + Until we reach the town of Sleep. + +[Illustration: THE TOWN OF SLEEP] + +[Illustration] + + + + +WHOLE DUTY OF CHILDREN + + + A child should always say what's true + And speak when he is spoken to, + And behave mannerly at table: + At least as far as he is able. + +[Illustration] + + + + +RAIN + + + The rain is raining all around, + It falls on field and tree, + It rains on the umbrellas here, + And on the ships at sea. + +[Illustration] + + + + +PIRATE STORY + + + Three of us afloat in the meadow by the swing, + Three of us aboard in the basket on the lea. + Winds are in the air, they are blowing in the spring, + And waves are on the meadow like the waves there are at sea. + + Where shall we adventure to-day that we're afloat, + Wary of the weather and steering by a star? + Shall it be to Africa, a-steering of the boat, + To Providence, or Babylon, or off to Malabar? + + Hi! but here's a squadron a-rowing on the sea-- + Cattle on the meadow a-charging with a roar! + Quick, and we'll escape them, they're as mad as they can be, + The wicket is the harbour and the garden the shore. + +[Illustration] + +[Illustration] + + + + +FOREIGN LANDS + + + Up into the cherry tree + Who should climb but little me? + I held the trunk with both my hands + And looked abroad on foreign lands. + + I saw the next door garden lie, + Adorned with flowers before my eye, + And many pleasant places more + That I had never seen before. + + I saw the dimpling river pass + And be the sky's blue looking-glass; + The dusty roads go up and down + With people tramping in to town. + + If I could find a higher tree + Farther and farther I should see, + To where the grown-up river slips + Into the sea among the ships, + + To where the roads on either hand + Lead onward into fairy land, + Where all the children dine at five, + And all the playthings come alive. + +[Illustration] + +[Illustration] + + + + +WINDY NIGHTS + + + Whenever the moon and stars are set, + Whenever the wind is high, + All night long in the dark and wet, + A man goes riding by. + Late in the night when the fires are out, + Why does he gallop and gallop about? + + Whenever the trees are crying aloud, + And ships are tossed at sea, + By, on the highway, low and loud, + By at the gallop goes he; + By at the gallop he goes, and then + By he comes back at the gallop again. + +[Illustration] + +[Illustration] + + + + +TRAVELS + + + I should like to rise and go + Where the golden apples grow;-- + Where below another sky + Parrot islands anchored lie, + And, watched by cockatoos and goats, + Lonely Crusoes building boats;-- + Where in sunshine reaching out + Eastern cities, miles about, + Are with mosque and minaret + Among sandy gardens set, + And the rich goods from near and far + Hang for sale in the bazaar; + Where the Great Wall round China goes, + And on one side the desert blows, + And with bell and voice and drum, + Cities on the other hum;-- + Where are forests, hot as fire, + Wide as England, tall as a spire, + Full of apes and cocoa-nuts + And the negro hunters' huts;-- + Where the knotty crocodile + Lies and blinks in the Nile, + And the red flamingo flies + Hunting fish before his eyes;-- + Where in jungles near and far, + Man-devouring tigers are, + Lying close and giving ear + Lest the hunt be drawing near, + Or a comer-by be seen + Swinging in a palanquin:-- + Where among the desert sands + Some deserted city stands, + All its children, sweep and prince. + Grown to manhood ages since, + Not a foot in street or house, + Not a stir of child or mouse, + And when kindly falls the night, + In all the town no spark of light. + There I'll come when I'm a man + With a camel caravan; + Light a fire in the gloom + Of some dusty dining-room; + See the pictures on the walls, + Heroes, fights and festivals; + And in a corner find the toys + Of the old Egyptian boys. + +[Illustration] + +[Illustration] + + + + +SINGING + + + Of speckled eggs the birdie sings + And nests among the trees; + The sailor sings of ropes and things + In ships upon the seas. + + The children sing in far Japan, + The children sing in Spain; + The organ with the organ man + Is singing in the rain. + +[Illustration: OF SPECKLED EGGS THE BIRDIE SINGS.] + +[Illustration] + + + + +LOOKING FORWARD + + + When I am grown to man's estate + I shall be very proud and great, + And tell the other girls and boys + Not to meddle with my toys. + +[Illustration] + + + + +A GOOD PLAY. + + + We built a ship upon the stairs + All made of the back-bedroom chairs, + And filled it full of sofa pillows + To go a-sailing on the billows. + + We took a saw and several nails, + And water in the nursery pails; + And Tom said, 'Let us also take + An apple and a slice of cake;'-- + Which was enough for Tom and me + To go a-sailing on, till tea. + + We sailed along for days and days, + And had the very best of plays; + But Tom fell out and hurt his knee, + So there was no one left but me. + +[Illustration] + +[Illustration] + + + + +WHERE GO THE BOATS? + + + Dark brown is the river, + Golden is the sand. + It flows along for ever, + With trees on either hand. + + Green leaves a-floating, + Castles of the foam, + Boats of mine a-boating-- + Where will all come home? + + On goes the river + And out past the mill, + Away down the valley, + Away down the hill. + + Away down the river, + A hundred miles or more, + Other little children + Shall bring my boats ashore. + +[Illustration] + +[Illustration] + + + + +AUNTIE'S SKIRTS + + + Whenever Auntie moves around, + Her dresses make a curious sound, + They trail behind her up the floor, + And trundle after through the door. + +[Illustration] + + + + +THE LAND OF COUNTERPANE. + + + When I was sick and lay a-bed, + I had two pillows at my head, + And all my toys beside me lay + To keep me happy all the day. + + And sometimes for an hour or so + I watched my leaden soldiers go, + With different uniforms and drills, + Among the bed-clothes, through the hills; + + And sometimes sent my ships in fleets + All up and down among the sheets; + Or brought my trees and houses out, + And planted cities all about. + + I was the giant great and still + That sits upon the pillow-hill, + And sees before him, dale and plain, + The pleasant land of counterpane. + +[Illustration] + +[Illustration] + + + + +THE LAND OF NOD + + + From breakfast on through all the day + At home among my friends I stay; + But every night I go abroad + Afar into the land of Nod. + + All by myself I have to go, + With none to tell me what to do-- + All alone beside the streams + And up the mountain-sides of dreams. + +[Illustration: "Up the mountain sides of dreams."] + + The strangest things are there for me, + Both things to eat and things to see, + And many frightening sights abroad + Till morning in the land of Nod. + + Try as I like to find the way, + I never can get back by day, + Nor can remember plain and clear + The curious music that I hear. + +[Illustration] + +[Illustration] + + + + +MY SHADOW + + + I have a little shadow that goes in and out with me, + And what can be the use of him is more than I can see. + He is very, very like me from the heels up to the head; + And I see him jump before me, when I jump into my bed. + + The funniest thing about him is the way he likes to grow-- + Not at all like proper children, which is always very slow; + For he sometimes shoots up taller, like an india-rubber ball, + And he sometimes gets so little that there's none of him at all. + + He hasn't got a notion of how children ought to play, + And can only make a fool of me in every sort of way. + He stays so close beside me, he's a coward you can see; + I'd think shame to stick to nursie as that shadow sticks to me! + + One morning, very early, before the sun was up, + I rose and found the shining dew on every buttercup; + But my lazy little shadow, like an arrant sleepy-head, + Had stayed at home behind me and was fast asleep in bed. + + +[Illustration] + +[Illustration] + + + + +SYSTEM + + + Every night my prayers I say, + And get my dinner every day; + And every day that I've been good, + I get an orange after food. + + The child that is not clean and neat. + With lots of toys and things to eat, + He is a naughty child, I'm sure-- + Or else his dear papa is poor. + +[Illustration] + +[Illustration] + + + + +A GOOD BOY + + + I woke before the morning, I was happy all the day, + I never said an ugly word, but smiled and stuck to play. + + And now at last the sun is going down behind the wood, + And I am very happy, for I know that I've been good. + + My bed is waiting cool and fresh, with linen smooth and fair, + And I must off to sleepsin-by, and not forget my prayer. + + I know that, till to-morrow I shall see the sun arise, + No ugly dream shall fright my mind, no ugly sight my eyes, + + But slumber hold me tightly till I waken in the dawn, + And hear the thrushes singing in the lilacs round the lawn. + +[Illustration: AND NOT FORGET MY PRAYER] + +[Illustration] + + + + +ESCAPE AT BEDTIME + + + The lights from the parlour and kitchen shone out + Through the blinds and the windows and bars; + And high overhead and all moving about, + There were thousands of millions of stars. + There ne'er were such thousands of leaves on a tree, + Nor of people in church or the Park, + As the crowds of the stars that looked down upon me, + And that glittered and winked in the dark. + +[Illustration] + + The Dog, and the Plough, and the Hunter, and all, + And the star of the sailor, and Mars, + These shone in the sky, and the pail by the wall, + Would be half full of water and stars. + They saw me at last, and they chased me with cries, + And they soon had me packed into bed; + But the glory kept shining and bright in my eyes, + And the stars going round in my head. + +[Illustration] + +[Illustration] + + + + +MARCHING-SONG. + + + Bring the comb and play upon it! + Marching, here we come! + Willie cocks his highland bonnet, + Johnnie beats the drum. + + Mary Jane commands the party, + Peter leads the rear; + Fleet in time, alert and hearty, + Each a Grenadier! + + All in the most martial manner + Marching double-quick; + While the napkin like a banner + Waves upon the stick! + + Here's enough of fame and pillage, + Great commander Jane! + Now that we've been round the village, + Let's go home again. + +[Illustration] + +[Illustration] + + + + +THE COW + + + The friendly cow all red and white, + I love with all my heart: + She gives me cream with all her might, + To eat with apple-tart. + + She wanders lowing here and there, + And yet she cannot stray, + All in the pleasant open air, + The pleasant light of day; + + And blown by all the winds that pass + And wet with all the showers, + She walks among the meadow grass + And eats the meadow flowers. + +[Illustration] + +[Illustration] + + + + +HAPPY THOUGHT. + + + The world is so full of a number of things, + I'm sure we should all be as happy as kings. + +[Illustration] + + + + +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-- + O wind, a-blowing all day long, + O 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-- + O wind, a-blowing all day long, + O wind, that sings so loud a song! + + O you that are so strong and cold, + O blower, are you young or old? + Are you a beast of field and tree, + Or just a stronger child than me? + O wind, a-blowing all day long, + O wind, that sings so loud a song! + +[Illustration] + +[Illustration] + + + + +KEEPSAKE MILL + + + Over the borders; a sin without pardon, + Breaking the branches and crawling below, + Out through the breach in the wall of the garden, + Down by the banks of the river, we go. + + Here is the mill with the humming of thunder, + Here is the weir with the wonder of foam, + Here is the sluice with the race running under-- + Marvellous places, though handy to home! + + Sounds of the village grow stiller and stiller, + Stiller the note of the birds on the hill; + Dusty and dim are the eyes of the miller, + Deaf are his ears with the moil of the mill. + + Years may go by, and the wheel in the river + Wheel as it wheels for us, children, to-day, + Wheel and keep roaring and foaming for ever + Long after all of the boys are away. + + Home from the Indies and home from the ocean, + Heroes and soldiers we all shall come home; + Still we shall find the old mill wheel in motion, + Turning and churning that river to foam. + + You with the bean that I gave when we quarrelled, + I with your marble of Saturday last, + Honoured and old and all gaily apparelled, + Here we shall meet and remember the past. + + +[Illustration: "THE BEAN THAT I GAVE WHEN WE QUARRELLED."] + +[Illustration] + + + + +GOOD AND BAD CHILDREN + + + Children, you are very little + And your bones are very brittle; + If you would grow great and stately, + You must try to walk sedately. + + You must still be bright and quiet, + And content with simple diet; + And remain, through all bewild'ring, + Innocent and honest children. + + Happy hearts and happy faces, + Happy play in grassy places--- + That was how, in ancient ages, + Children grew to kings and sages. + + But the unkind and the unruly, + And the sort who eat unduly, + They must never hope for glory-- + Theirs is quite a different story! + + Cruel children, crying babies, + All grow up as geese and gabies, + Hated, as their age increases, + By their nephews and their nieces. + +[Illustration] + +[Illustration] + + + + +FOREIGN CHILDREN + + + Little Indian, Sioux or Crow, + Little frosty Eskimo, + Little Turk or Japanee, + O! don't you wish that you were me? + + You have seen the scarlet trees + And the lions over seas; + You have eaten ostrich eggs, + And turned the turtles off their legs. + + Such a life is very fine. + But it's not so nice as mine: + You must often, as you trod, + Have wearied _not_ to be abroad. + + You have curious things to eat, + I am fed on proper meat; + You must dwell beyond the foam, + But I am safe and live at home. + + Little Indian, Sioux or Crow, + Little frosty Eskimo, + Little Turk or Japanee, + O! don't you wish that you were me? + +[Illustration] + +[Illustration] + + + + +THE SUN'S TRAVELS + + + The sun is not a-bed, when I + At night upon my pillow lie; + Still round the earth his way he takes, + And morning after morning makes. + + While here at home, in shining day, + We round the sunny garden play, + Each little Indian sleepy-head + Is being kissed and put to bed. + + And when at eve I rise from tea, + Day dawns beyond the Atlantic Sea, + And all the children in the West + Are getting up and being dressed. + +[Illustration] + +[Illustration] + + + + +THE LAMP-LIGHTER + + + My tea is nearly ready and the sun has left the sky; + It's time to take the window to see Leerie going by; + For every night at tea-time and before you take your seat, + With lantern and with ladder he comes posting up the street. + + Now Tom would be a driver and Maria go to sea, + And my papa's a banker and as rich as he can be; + But I, when I am stronger and can choose what I'm to do, + O Leerie, I'll go round at night and light the lamps with you! + + For we are very lucky, with a lamp before the door, + And Leerie stops to light it as he lights so many more; + And O! before you hurry by with ladder and with light, + O Leerie, see a little child and nod to him to-night! + +[Illustration] + +[Illustration] + + + + +MY BED IS A BOAT + + + My bed is like a little boat;

+ + He loves to be little, he hates to be big, + 'T is he that inhabits the caves that you dig; + 'T is he when you play with your soldiers of tin + That sides with the Frenchmen and never can win. + +[Illustration] + + 'T is he, when at night you go off to your bed, + Bids you go to your sleep and not trouble your head; + For wherever they're lying, in cupboard or shelf, + 'T is he will take care of your playthings himself! + +[Illustration] + +[Illustration] + + + + +MY SHIP AND I + + + O it's I that am the captain of a tidy little ship, + Of a ship that goes a-sailing on the pond; + And my ship it keeps a-turning all around and all about; + But when I'm a little older, I shall find the secret out + How to send my vessel sailing on beyond. + + For I mean to grow as little as the dolly at the helm, + And the dolly I intend to come alive; + And with him beside to help me, it's a-sailing I shall go, + It's a-sailing on the water, when the jolly breezes blow, + And the vessel goes a divie-divie-dive. + + O it's then you'll see me sailing through the rushes and the reeds, + And you'll hear the water singing at the prow; + For beside the dolly sailor, I'm to voyage and explore, + To land upon the island where no dolly was before, + And to fire the penny cannon in the bow. + +[Illustration] + +[Illustration] + + + + +MY KINGDOM + + + Down by a shining water well + I found a very little dell, + No higher than my head, + The heather and the gorse about + In summer bloom were coming out, + Some yellow and some red. + + I called the little pool a sea; + The little hills were big to me; + For I am very small. + I made a boat, I made a town, + I searched the caverns up and down, + And named them one and all. + + And all about was mine, I said, + The little sparrows overhead, + The little minnows too. + This was the world and I was king; + For me the bees came by to sing, + For me the swallows flew. + + I played, there were no deeper seas, + Nor any wider plains than these, + Nor other kings than me. + At last I heard my mother call + Out from the house at evenfall, + To call me home to tea. + + And I must rise and leave my dell, + And leave my dimpled water well, + And leave my heather blooms. + Alas!

+ +[Illustration] + + The stone, with the white and the yellow and grey, + We discovered I cannot tell _how_ far away; + And I carried it back although weary and cold, + For though father denies it, I'm sure it is gold. + + But of all of my treasures the last is the king, + For there's very few children possess such a thing; + And that is a chisel, both handle and blade, + Which a man who was really a carpenter made. + +[Illustration] + +[Illustration] + + + + +BLOCK CITY. + + + What are you able to build with your blocks? + Castles and palaces, temples and docks. + Rain may keep raining, and others go roam, + But I can be happy and building at home. + + Let the sofa be mountains, the carpet be sea, + There I'll establish a city for me: + A kirk and a mill and a palace beside, + And a harbour as well where my vessels may ride. + + Great is the palace with pillar and wall, + A sort of a tower on the top of it all, + And steps coming down in an orderly way + To where my toy vessels lie safe in the bay. + + This one is sailing and that one is moored: + Hark to the song of the sailors on board! + And see on the steps of my palace, the kings + Coming and going with presents and things! + + Now I have done with it, down let it go! + All in a moment the town is laid low. + Block upon block lying scattered and free, + What is there left of my town by the sea? + + Yet as I saw it, I see it again, + The kirk and the palace, the ships and the men, + And as long as I live and where'er I may be, + I'll always remember my town by the sea. + +[Illustration] + +[Illustration] + + + + +THE LAND OF STORY-BOOKS. + + + At evening, when the lamp is lit, + Around the fire my parents sit; + They sit at home and talk and sing, + And do not play at anything. + + Now, with my little gun, I crawl + All in the dark along the wall, + And follow round the forest track + Away behind the sofa back. + + There, in the night, where none can spy, + All in my hunter's camp I lie, + And play at books that I have read + Till it is time to go to bed. + + These are the hills, these are the woods, + These are my starry solitudes; + And there the river by whose brink + The roaring lions come to drink. + + I see the others far away + As if in firelit camp they lay, + And I, like to an Indian scout, + Around their party prowled about. + + So, when my nurse comes in for me, + Home I return across the sea, + And go to bed with backward looks + At my dear land of Story-books. + +[Illustration] + +[Illustration] + + + + +ARMIES IN THE FIRE. + + + The lamps now glitter down the street; + Faintly sound the falling feet; + And the blue even slowly falls + About the garden trees and walls. + + Now in the falling of the gloom + The red fire paints the empty room: + And warmly on the roof it looks, + And flickers on the backs of books. + + Armies march by tower and spire + Of cities blazing, in the fire; + Till as I gaze with staring eyes, + The armies fade, the lustre dies. + + Then once again the glow returns; + Again the phantom city burns; + And down the red-hot valley, lo!

In 2001, the Project +Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure +and permanent future for Project Gutenberg-tm and future generations. +To learn more about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation +and how your efforts and donations can help, see Sections 3 and 4 +and the Foundation web page at http://www.pglaf.org. + + +Section 3.

Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg +Literary Archive Foundation + +Project Gutenberg-tm depends upon and cannot survive without wide +spread public support and donations to carry out its mission of +increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be +freely distributed in machine readable form accessible by the widest +array of equipment including outdated equipment. Many small donations +($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt +status with the IRS. + +The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating +charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United +States. Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a +considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up +with these requirements.

To +SEND DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any +particular state visit http://pglaf.org + +While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we +have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition +against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who +approach us with offers to donate. + +International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make +any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from +outside the United States. U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff. + +Please check the Project Gutenberg Web pages for current donation +methods and addresses.
