+BY WAY OF INTRODUCTION
+
+Robert Lewis Balfour Stevenson, or Robert Louis Stevenson, as the world
+knows him, was still a boy when he published this rare volume of "A
+Child's Garden of Verses," although by the calendar he was thirty-five
+years old. You and I have sighed, no doubt, to be a boy again, but here
+was one who, while he outgrew his knickerbockers, never outgrew the quick
+sympathy, the brave heart, the fresh outlook, the confident faith and
+buoyant spirit of the little Scotch boy who roamed the hills 'round
+Edinburgh. Better than any man of any time he was able to enter into the
+heart of a boy, to view things with a boy's eyes, and to write of them in
+simple verse, touched with the warmth and color of his rich imagination.
+In these "Verses" he writes as a child rather than about children, and in
+this lies much of the charm which they possess for little readers. There
+is in them the surprise of reality, the beauty of a simple rhythm, and the
+mysterious flavor of magic that grips a boy's heart and will not let him
+go until the book has become a part of him. Surely this is a rare quality
+in schoolbooks.
+
+The Stevensons had been famous engineers for more than a hundred years,
+building lighthouses along the Scottish coast, and it was natural that his
+father should have expected Robert Louis to follow in the family
+footsteps. But the slim boy with brown eyes, who at eight had written a
+"History of Moses," and illustrated it with his own pen; who was slow to
+learn from books, but quick to understand things that he saw and felt; the
+boy who carried a volume of history in one pocket and a notebook in
+another, had other plans for himself, and even his father came to see the
+wisdom of his son's choice of a literary life. As early as 1873, when
+only twenty-three years old, Stevenson was ordered south for the winter by
+his physician, to ward off impending consumption. For more than twenty
+years, or until his death in Samoa late in 1894, he was never far from
+this pursuing enemy. It followed him over tossing seas and through many
+lands as he journeyed in search of health; yet through all these years he
+carried a brave and happy heart, and wrote at the end this Requiem, the
+last three lines of which are upon his tomb on the mountain-top in Samoa;
+
+    "Under the wide and starry sky,
+    Dig the grave and let me lie.
+    Glad did I live and gladly die,
+      And I laid me down with a will.
+    "This be the verse you grave for me:
+    _Here he lies where he longed to be;_
+    _Home is the sailor, home from sea,_
+      _And the hunter home from the hill_."
+
+Robert Louis Stevenson's first book, "An Inland Voyage," was published in
+1878, when he was twenty-eight years old, and is a fresh and charming
+account of a canoe trip up the rivers of Holland. It was during this
+journey that he wrote: "If we were charged so much a head for sunsets, or
+if God sent around a drum before the hawthorn came into flower, what a
+work we should make about their beauty! But these things, like good
+companions, stupid people early cease to observe."
+
+The next year came his "Travels With a Donkey," which told in the same
+naïve style the story of his journey through the Cevennes Mountains with
+no other companion than a donkey, whose gait he describes as being "As
+much slower than a walk as a walk is slower than a run."
+
+He first visited America in 1879, in search of health, returning in 1880
+to Scotland with Mrs. Stevenson, whom he had married in California. In
+1887 he came again with the hope that a dry winter in the Adirondack
+Mountains would stand off the hand of Death. But he was little benefited,
+and took up his search for health by chartering a yacht for a voyage
+through the South Seas. It was on this trip that he fell in love with the
+beauty of the scenery and the healthful climate of Samoa, and in 1890 he
+took up his home there, never again to leave the island except for
+occasional visits to Honolulu and Sydney. And when the time came for him
+to die, the natives, with their knives and axes cut a path up the steep
+mountain-side and carried him on their broad shoulders to his grave on the
+mountain-top.
+
+"A Child's Garden of Verses" was first published in London in 1885, and
+long ago became a children's classic; yet it is now for the first time
+made available as a supplementary reader for the primary grades in a
+suitable form and at a possible price. There have been many and beautiful
+editions, but they have all appealed to "grown-ups" rather than to boys
+and girls to whom the book really belongs. To put such a book, with its
+simple style, its wise observations, its kindly sympathy, and fanciful
+humor into the hands of a boy or girl, is not only to make him happy, it
+is to start him on the straight path to culture.
+
+This volume contains all the poems originally appearing under the title "A
+Child's Garden of Verses." The poems grouped under "The Child Alone,"
+"Garden Days," and "Envoys" have been omitted, as many of them are too
+philosophical to be understood by children in the primary grades.
+
+The illustrations in this book are used by special arrangement with Harper
+& Brothers of New York City, who publish the complete "Verses" in a
+beautiful edition suitable for the home or the library.
+
+So with Stevenson's own words the book is yours:
+
+    "Go little book, and wish to all,
+    Flowers in the garden, meat in the hall,
+    A living river by the door,
+    A nightingale in the sycamore."
+

+
+    For the long nights you lay awake
+    And watched for my unworthy sake:
+    For your most comfortable hand
+    That led me through the uneven land:
+    For all the story-books you read:
+    For all the pains you comforted:
+    For all you pitied, all you bore,
+    In sad and happy days of yore:--
+    My second Mother, my first Wife,
+    The angel of my infant life--
+    From the sick child, now well and old,
+    Take, nurse, the little book you hold!
+
+    And grant it, Heaven, that all who read
+    May find as dear a nurse at need,
+    And every child who lists my rhyme,
+    In the bright, fireside, nursery clime,
+    May hear it in as kind a voice
+    As made my childish days rejoice!

+
+
+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 tree,
+    Or hear the grown-up people's feet
+    Still going past me in the street.
+
+    And does it not seem hard to you
+    When all the sky is clear and blue,
+    And I should like so much to play,
+    To have to go to bed by day?
+
+[Illustration: _"So fine a show was never seen."_]
+
+
+
+
+YOUNG NIGHT THOUGHT
+
+
+    All night long and every night,
+    When my mama puts out the light
+    I see the people marching by,
+    As plain as day, before my eye.
+
+    Armies and emperors and kings,
+    All carrying different kinds of things,
+    And marching in so grand a way,
+    You never saw the like by day.
+
+    So fine a show was never seen
+    At the great circus on the green;
+    For every kind of beast and man
+    Is marching in that caravan.
+
+    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]

+
+
+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.
+
+
+
+
+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.
+
+[Illustration: _"I have a little shadow."_]
+
+    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]

+
+Time to Rise.
+
+
+    A birdie with a yellow bill
+      Hopped upon the window sill,
+    Cocked his shining eye and said:
+      'Ain't you shamed, you sleepy-head?'
+
+[Illustration]

+
+
+
+At the Seaside.
+
+
+    When I was down beside the sea
+      A wooden spade they gave to me
+      To dig the sandy shore.
+    My holes were empty like a cup,
+    In every hole the sea came up.
+      Till it could come no more.

+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.

+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?
+
+[Illustration: _"Three of us afloat."_]
+
+    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 harbor and the garden is the shore.

+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: _"I looked abroad on foreign lands."_]
+
+
+
+
+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 into 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.
+
+
+
+
+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.

+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.

+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: _"I was happy all the day."_]
+

+
+
+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 tomorrow 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]
+
+
+
+
+LOOKING FORWARD
+
+
+    When I am grown to man's estate
+      I shall be very proud and great,

+    Not to meddle with my toys.

+The Swing
+
+
+    How do you like to go up in a swing,
+      Up in the air so blue?
+    Oh, I do think it the pleasantest thing
+      Ever a child can do!
+
+    Up in the air and over the wall,
+      Till I can see so wide,
+    Rivers and trees and cattle and all
+      Over the countryside--
+
+    Till I look down on the garden green,
+      Down on the roof so brown--
+    Up in the air I go flying again,
+      Up in the air and down!

+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.

+MARCHING SONG
+
+
+    Bring the comb and play upon it!
+      Marching, here we come!
+    Willie cocks his highland bonnet,

+
+    Mary Jane commands the party,
+      Peter leads the rear;
+    Feet 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,

+TRAVEL
+
+
+    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;--
+
+[Illustration: _"Where the red flamingo flies."_]
+
+    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.

+
+    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,

+    Other little children
+      Shall bring my boats ashore.

+ESCAPE AT BEDTIME
+
+    The lights from the parlor 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 glistened and winked in the dark.
+
+    The Dog, and the Plough, and the Hunter, and all,
+      And the star of the sailor, and Mars,
+    These shown 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.

+    All through the meadows the horses and cattle:
+    All of the sights of the hill and the plain
+    Fly as thick as driving rain;
+    And ever again, in the wink of an eye,
+    Painted stations whistle by.
+
+    Here is a child who clambers and scrambles,--
+    All by himself and gathering brambles;
+    Here is a tramp who stands and gazes;
+    And there is the green for stringing the daisies!
+    Here is a cart run away in the road

+      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,

+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.

+MY BED IS A BOAT
+
+
+    My bed is like a little boat;
+      Nurse helps me in when I embark;
+    She girds me in my sailor's coat
+      And starts me in the dark.
+
+    At night, I go on board and say
+      Good-night to all my friends on shore;
+    I shut my eyes and sail away
+      And see and hear no more.
+
+    And sometimes things to bed I take,
+      As prudent sailors have to do;
+    Perhaps a slice of wedding-cake,
+      Perhaps a toy or two.
+
+    All night across the dark we steer;
+      But when the day returns at last,
+    Safe in my room, beside the pier,
+      I find my vessel fast.

+
+    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-side 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.

+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--
+      Marvelous 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 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 quarreled,

+WINTER-TIME
+
+
+    Late lies the wintry sun a-bed,
+    A frosty, fiery sleepy-head;
+    Blinks but an hour or two; and then,
+    A blood-red orange, sets again.
+
+    Before the stars have left the skies,
+    At morning in the dark I rise;
+    And shivering in my nakedness,
+    By the cold candle, bathe and dress.
+
+    Close by the jolly fire I sit
+    To warm my frozen bones a bit;
+    Or with a reindeer-sled, explore
+    The colder countries round the door.
+
+    When to go out, my nurse doth wrap
+    Me in my comforter and cap;
+    The cold wind burns my face, and blows
+    Its frosty pepper up my nose.
+
+    Black are my steps on silvery sod;
+    Thick blows my frosty breath abroad;
+    And tree and house, and hill and lake,
+    Are frosted like a wedding-cake.

+
+    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;

+
+    The squalling cat and the squeaking mouse,
+    The howling dog by the door of the house,
+    The bat that lies in bed at noon,
+    All love to be out by the light of the moon.
+
+    But all of the things that belong to the day
+    Cuddle to sleep to be out of her way;
+    And flowers and children close their eyes
+    Till up in the morning the sun shall arise.

+    Through all the pleasant meadow-side

+
+    These green and sweetly smelling crops
+      They led in wagons home;
+    And they piled them here in mountain-tops
+      For mountaineers to roam.
+
+    Here is Mount Clear, Mount Rusty-Nail,
+      Mount Eagle and Mount High;--
+    The mice that in these mountains dwell,

+II. SHADOW MARCH
+
+
+    All round the house is the jet-black night;
+      It stares through the window-pane;
+    It crawls in the corners, hiding from the light,
+      And it moves with the moving flame.
+
+    Now my little heart goes a-beating like a drum,
+      With the breath of Bogie in my hair,
+    And all round the candle the crooked shadows come,
+      And go marching along up the stair.
+
+    The shadow of the balusters, the shadow of the lamp,
+      The shadow of the child that goes to bed--
+    All the wicked shadows coming, tramp, tramp, tramp,
+      With the black night overhead.
+
+[Illustration]
+
+
+
+
+III. IN PORT
+
+
+    Last, to the chamber where I lie
+    My fearful footsteps patter nigh,
+    And come from out the cold and gloom
+    Into my warm and cheerful room.
+
+    There, safe arrived, we turn about
+    To keep the coming shadows out,
+    And close the happy door at last
+    On all the perils that we past.
+
+    Then, when mamma goes by to bed,
+    She shall come in with tip-toe tread,
+    And see me lying warm and fast
+    And in the Land of Nod at last.
+
+[Illustration: _"In the Land of Nod at last."_]
+
+
+
+
+TO MY MOTHER
+
+    You, too, my mother, read my rhymes
+    For love of unforgotten times,
+    And you may chance to hear once more
+    The little feet along the floor.

+Section  2.  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

+
+Section 4.  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 https://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 including checks, online payments and credit card
+donations.  To donate, please visit: https://pglaf.org/donate
+
+
+Section 5.  General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic
+works.
+
+Professor Michael S. Hart was 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:
+
+     https://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.

+<h2><a name="BY_WAY_OF_INTRODUCTION" id="BY_WAY_OF_INTRODUCTION"></a>BY WAY OF INTRODUCTION</h2>
+
+<p>Robert Lewis Balfour Stevenson, or Robert Louis Stevenson, as the world
+knows him, was still a boy when he published this rare volume of "A
+Child's Garden of Verses," although by the calendar he was thirty-five
+years old. You and I have sighed, no doubt, to be a boy again, but here
+was one who, while he outgrew his knickerbockers, never outgrew the quick
+sympathy, the brave heart, the fresh outlook, the confident faith and
+buoyant spirit of the little Scotch boy who roamed the hills 'round
+Edinburgh. Better than any man of any time he was able to enter into the
+heart of a boy, to view things with a boy's eyes, and to write of them in
+simple verse, touched with the warmth and color of his rich imagination.
+In these "Verses" he writes as a child rather than about children, and in
+this lies much of the charm which they possess for little readers. There
+is in them the surprise of reality, the beauty of a simple rhythm, and the
+mysterious flavor of magic that grips a boy's heart and will not let him
+go until the book has become a part of him. Surely this is a rare quality
+in schoolbooks.</p>
+
+<p>The Stevensons had been famous engineers for more than a hundred years,
+building lighthouses along the Scottish coast, and it was natural that his
+father should have expected Robert Louis to follow in the family
+footsteps. But the slim boy with brown eyes, who at eight had written a
+"History of Moses," and illustrated it with his own pen; who was slow to
+learn from books, but quick to understand things that he saw and felt; the
+boy who carried a volume of history in one pocket and a notebook in
+another, had other plans for himself, and even his father came to see the
+wisdom of his son's choice of a literary life. As early as<span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_6" id="Page_6">[Pg 6]</a></span> 1873, when
+only twenty-three years old, Stevenson was ordered south for the winter by
+his physician, to ward off impending consumption. For more than twenty
+years, or until his death in Samoa late in 1894, he was never far from
+this pursuing enemy. It followed him over tossing seas and through many
+lands as he journeyed in search of health; yet through all these years he
+carried a brave and happy heart, and wrote at the end this Requiem, the
+last three lines of which are upon his tomb on the mountain-top in Samoa;</p>
+
+<div class="poem"><div class="stanza">
+<span class="i0">"Under the wide and starry sky,<br /></span>
+<span class="i0">Dig the grave and let me lie.<br /></span>
+<span class="i0">Glad did I live and gladly die,<br /></span>
+<span class="i2">And I laid me down with a will.<br /></span>
+<span class="i0">"This be the verse you grave for me:<br /></span>
+<span class="i0"><i>Here he lies where he longed to be;</i><br /></span>
+<span class="i0"><i>Home is the sailor, home from sea,</i><br /></span>
+<span class="i2"><i>And the hunter home from the hill</i>."<br /></span>
+</div></div>
+
+<p>Robert Louis Stevenson's first book, "An Inland Voyage," was published in
+1878, when he was twenty-eight years old, and is a fresh and charming
+account of a canoe trip up the rivers of Holland. It was during this
+journey that he wrote: "If we were charged so much a head for sunsets, or
+if God sent around a drum before the hawthorn came into flower, what a
+work we should make about their beauty! But these things, like good
+companions, stupid people early cease to observe."</p>
+
+<p>The next year came his "Travels With a Donkey," which told in the same
+na&iuml;ve style the story of his journey through the Cevennes Mountains with
+no other companion than a donkey, whose gait he describes as being "As
+much slower than a walk as a walk is slower than a run."</p>
+
+<p>He first visited America in 1879, in search of health, returning in 1880
+to Scotland with Mrs. Stevenson, whom he had married in California. In
+1887 he came again with the hope that a dry winter in the Adirondack
+Mountains would stand off the hand of<span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_7" id="Page_7">[Pg 7]</a></span> Death. But he was little benefited,
+and took up his search for health by chartering a yacht for a voyage
+through the South Seas. It was on this trip that he fell in love with the
+beauty of the scenery and the healthful climate of Samoa, and in 1890 he
+took up his home there, never again to leave the island except for
+occasional visits to Honolulu and Sydney. And when the time came for him
+to die, the natives, with their knives and axes cut a path up the steep
+mountain-side and carried him on their broad shoulders to his grave on the
+mountain-top.</p>
+
+<p>"A Child's Garden of Verses" was first published in London in 1885, and
+long ago became a children's classic; yet it is now for the first time
+made available as a supplementary reader for the primary grades in a
+suitable form and at a possible price. There have been many and beautiful
+editions, but they have all appealed to "grown-ups" rather than to boys
+and girls to whom the book really belongs. To put such a book, with its
+simple style, its wise observations, its kindly sympathy, and fanciful
+humor into the hands of a boy or girl, is not only to make him happy, it
+is to start him on the straight path to culture.</p>
+
+<p>This volume contains all the poems originally appearing under the title "A
+Child's Garden of Verses." The poems grouped under "The Child Alone,"
+"Garden Days," and "Envoys" have been omitted, as many of them are too
+philosophical to be understood by children in the primary grades.</p>
+
+<p>The illustrations in this book are used by special arrangement with Harper
+&amp; Brothers of New York City, who publish the complete "Verses" in a
+beautiful edition suitable for the home or the library.</p>
+
+<p>So with Stevenson's own words the book is yours:</p>

+Creating the works from public domain print editions means that no
+one owns a United States copyright in these works, so the Foundation
+(and you!) can copy and distribute it in the United States without
+permission and without paying copyright royalties.  Special rules,
+set forth in the General Terms of Use part of this license, apply to
+copying and distributing Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works to
+protect the PROJECT GUTENBERG-tm concept and trademark.  Project
+Gutenberg is a registered trademark, and may not be used if you
+charge for the eBooks, unless you receive specific permission.  If you
+do not charge anything for copies of this eBook, complying with the
+rules is very easy.  You may use this eBook for nearly any purpose
+such as creation of derivative works, reports, performances and
+research.  They may be modified and printed and given away--you may do
+practically ANYTHING with public domain eBooks.  Redistribution is

+THE FULL PROJECT GUTENBERG LICENSE
+PLEASE READ THIS BEFORE YOU DISTRIBUTE OR USE THIS WORK
+
+To protect the Project Gutenberg-tm mission of promoting the free
+distribution of electronic works, by using or distributing this work
+(or any other work associated in any way with the phrase "Project
+Gutenberg"), you agree to comply with all the terms of the Full Project
+Gutenberg-tm License (available with this file or online at
+https://gutenberg.org/license).
+
+
+Section 1.  General Terms of Use and Redistributing Project Gutenberg-tm
+electronic works
+
+1.A.  By reading or using any part of this Project Gutenberg-tm
+electronic work, you indicate that you have read, understand, agree to
+and accept all the terms of this license and intellectual property
+(trademark/copyright) agreement.  If you do not agree to abide by all
+the terms of this agreement, you must cease using and return or destroy
+all copies of Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works in your possession.
+If you paid a fee for obtaining a copy of or access to a Project
+Gutenberg-tm electronic work and you do not agree to be bound by the
+terms of this agreement, you may obtain a refund from the person or
+entity to whom you paid the fee as set forth in paragraph 1.E.8.
+
+1.B.  "Project Gutenberg" is a registered trademark.  It may only be
+used on or associated in any way with an electronic work by people who
+agree to be bound by the terms of this agreement.  There are a few
+things that you can do with most Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works
+even without complying with the full terms of this agreement.  See
+paragraph 1.C below.  There are a lot of things you can do with Project
+Gutenberg-tm electronic works if you follow the terms of this agreement
+and help preserve free future access to Project Gutenberg-tm electronic
+works.  See paragraph 1.E below.
+
+1.C.  The Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation ("the Foundation"
+or PGLAF), owns a compilation copyright in the collection of Project
+Gutenberg-tm electronic works.  Nearly all the individual works in the
+collection are in the public domain in the United States.  If an
+individual work is in the public domain in the United States and you are
+located in the United States, we do not claim a right to prevent you from
+copying, distributing, performing, displaying or creating derivative
+works based on the work as long as all references to Project Gutenberg
+are removed.  Of course, we hope that you will support the Project
+Gutenberg-tm mission of promoting free access to electronic works by
+freely sharing Project Gutenberg-tm works in compliance with the terms of
+this agreement for keeping the Project Gutenberg-tm name associated with
+the work.  You can easily comply with the terms of this agreement by
+keeping this work in the same format with its attached full Project
+Gutenberg-tm License when you share it without charge with others.
+
+1.D.  The copyright laws of the place where you are located also govern
+what you can do with this work.  Copyright laws in most countries are in
+a constant state of change.  If you are outside the United States, check
+the laws of your country in addition to the terms of this agreement
+before downloading, copying, displaying, performing, distributing or
+creating derivative works based on this work or any other Project
+Gutenberg-tm work.  The Foundation makes no representations concerning
+the copyright status of any work in any country outside the United
+States.
+
+1.E.  Unless you have removed all references to Project Gutenberg:
+
+1.E.1.  The following sentence, with active links to, or other immediate
+access to, the full Project Gutenberg-tm License must appear prominently
+whenever any copy of a Project Gutenberg-tm work (any work on which the
+phrase "Project Gutenberg" appears, or with which the phrase "Project
+Gutenberg" is associated) is accessed, displayed, performed, viewed,
+copied or distributed:
+
+This eBook is for the use of anyone anywhere at no cost and with
+almost no restrictions whatsoever.  You may copy it, give it away or
+re-use it under the terms of the Project Gutenberg License included
+with this eBook or online at www.gutenberg.org
+
+1.E.2.  If an individual Project Gutenberg-tm electronic work is derived
+from the public domain (does not contain a notice indicating that it is
+posted with permission of the copyright holder), the work can be copied
+and distributed to anyone in the United States without paying any fees
+or charges.  If you are redistributing or providing access to a work
+with the phrase "Project Gutenberg" associated with or appearing on the
+work, you must comply either with the requirements of paragraphs 1.E.1
+through 1.E.7 or obtain permission for the use of the work and the
+Project Gutenberg-tm trademark as set forth in paragraphs 1.E.8 or
+1.E.9.
+
+1.E.3.  If an individual Project Gutenberg-tm electronic work is posted
+with the permission of the copyright holder, your use and distribution
+must comply with both paragraphs 1.E.1 through 1.E.7 and any additional
+terms imposed by the copyright holder.  Additional terms will be linked
+to the Project Gutenberg-tm License for all works posted with the
+permission of the copyright holder found at the beginning of this work.
+
+1.E.4.  Do not unlink or detach or remove the full Project Gutenberg-tm
+License terms from this work, or any files containing a part of this
+work or any other work associated with Project Gutenberg-tm.
+
+1.E.5.  Do not copy, display, perform, distribute or redistribute this
+electronic work, or any part of this electronic work, without
+prominently displaying the sentence set forth in paragraph 1.E.1 with
+active links or immediate access to the full terms of the Project
+Gutenberg-tm License.
+
+1.E.6.  You may convert to and distribute this work in any binary,
+compressed, marked up, nonproprietary or proprietary form, including any
+word processing or hypertext form.  However, if you provide access to or
+distribute copies of a Project Gutenberg-tm work in a format other than
+"Plain Vanilla ASCII" or other format used in the official version
+posted on the official Project Gutenberg-tm web site (www.gutenberg.org),
+you must, at no additional cost, fee or expense to the user, provide a
+copy, a means of exporting a copy, or a means of obtaining a copy upon
+request, of the work in its original "Plain Vanilla ASCII" or other
+form.  Any alternate format must include the full Project Gutenberg-tm
+License as specified in paragraph 1.E.1.
+
+1.E.7.  Do not charge a fee for access to, viewing, displaying,
+performing, copying or distributing any Project Gutenberg-tm works
+unless you comply with paragraph 1.E.8 or 1.E.9.
+
+1.E.8.  You may charge a reasonable fee for copies of or providing
+access to or distributing Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works provided
+that
+
+- You pay a royalty fee of 20% of the gross profits you derive from
+     the use of Project Gutenberg-tm works calculated using the method
+     you already use to calculate your applicable taxes.  The fee is
+     owed to the owner of the Project Gutenberg-tm trademark, but he
+     has agreed to donate royalties under this paragraph to the
+     Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation.  Royalty payments
+     must be paid within 60 days following each date on which you
+     prepare (or are legally required to prepare) your periodic tax
+     returns.  Royalty payments should be clearly marked as such and
+     sent to the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation at the
+     address specified in Section 4, "Information about donations to
+     the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation."
+
+- You provide a full refund of any money paid by a user who notifies
+     you in writing (or by e-mail) within 30 days of receipt that s/he
+     does not agree to the terms of the full Project Gutenberg-tm
+     License.  You must require such a user to return or
+     destroy all copies of the works possessed in a physical medium
+     and discontinue all use of and all access to other copies of
+     Project Gutenberg-tm works.
+
+- You provide, in accordance with paragraph 1.F.3, a full refund of any
+     money paid for a work or a replacement copy, if a defect in the
+     electronic work is discovered and reported to you within 90 days
+     of receipt of the work.
+
+- You comply with all other terms of this agreement for free
+     distribution of Project Gutenberg-tm works.
+
+1.E.9.  If you wish to charge a fee or distribute a Project Gutenberg-tm
+electronic work or group of works on different terms than are set
+forth in this agreement, you must obtain permission in writing from
+both the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation and Michael
+Hart, the owner of the Project Gutenberg-tm trademark.  Contact the
+Foundation as set forth in Section 3 below.
+
+1.F.
+
+1.F.1.  Project Gutenberg volunteers and employees expend considerable
+effort to identify, do copyright research on, transcribe and proofread
+public domain works in creating the Project Gutenberg-tm
+collection.  Despite these efforts, Project Gutenberg-tm electronic
+works, and the medium on which they may be stored, may contain
+"Defects," such as, but not limited to, incomplete, inaccurate or
+corrupt data, transcription errors, a copyright or other intellectual
+property infringement, a defective or damaged disk or other medium, a
+computer virus, or computer codes that damage or cannot be read by
+your equipment.
+
+1.F.2.  LIMITED WARRANTY, DISCLAIMER OF DAMAGES - Except for the "Right
+of Replacement or Refund" described in paragraph 1.F.3, the Project
+Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation, the owner of the Project
+Gutenberg-tm trademark, and any other party distributing a Project
+Gutenberg-tm electronic work under this agreement, disclaim all
+liability to you for damages, costs and expenses, including legal
+fees.  YOU AGREE THAT YOU HAVE NO REMEDIES FOR NEGLIGENCE, STRICT
+LIABILITY, BREACH OF WARRANTY OR BREACH OF CONTRACT EXCEPT THOSE
+PROVIDED IN PARAGRAPH F3.  YOU AGREE THAT THE FOUNDATION, THE
+TRADEMARK OWNER, AND ANY DISTRIBUTOR UNDER THIS AGREEMENT WILL NOT BE
+LIABLE TO YOU FOR ACTUAL, DIRECT, INDIRECT, CONSEQUENTIAL, PUNITIVE OR
+INCIDENTAL DAMAGES EVEN IF YOU GIVE NOTICE OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH
+DAMAGE.
+
+1.F.3.  LIMITED RIGHT OF REPLACEMENT OR REFUND - If you discover a
+defect in this electronic work within 90 days of receiving it, you can
+receive a refund of the money (if any) you paid for it by sending a
+written explanation to the person you received the work from.  If you
+received the work on a physical medium, you must return the medium with
+your written explanation.  The person or entity that provided you with
+the defective work may elect to provide a replacement copy in lieu of a
+refund.  If you received the work electronically, the person or entity
+providing it to you may choose to give you a second opportunity to
+receive the work electronically in lieu of a refund.  If the second copy
+is also defective, you may demand a refund in writing without further
+opportunities to fix the problem.
+
+1.F.4.  Except for the limited right of replacement or refund set forth
+in paragraph 1.F.3, this work is provided to you 'AS-IS' WITH NO OTHER
+WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO
+WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTIBILITY OR FITNESS FOR ANY PURPOSE.
+
+1.F.5.  Some states do not allow disclaimers of certain implied
+warranties or the exclusion or limitation of certain types of damages.
+If any disclaimer or limitation set forth in this agreement violates the
+law of the state applicable to this agreement, the agreement shall be
+interpreted to make the maximum disclaimer or limitation permitted by
+the applicable state law.  The invalidity or unenforceability of any
+provision of this agreement shall not void the remaining provisions.
+
+1.F.6.  INDEMNITY - You agree to indemnify and hold the Foundation, the
+trademark owner, any agent or employee of the Foundation, anyone
+providing copies of Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works in accordance
+with this agreement, and any volunteers associated with the production,
+promotion and distribution of Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works,
+harmless from all liability, costs and expenses, including legal fees,
+that arise directly or indirectly from any of the following which you do
+or cause to occur: (a) distribution of this or any Project Gutenberg-tm
+work, (b) alteration, modification, or additions or deletions to any
+Project Gutenberg-tm work, and (c) any Defect you cause.
+
+
+Section  2.  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 https://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
+https://pglaf.org/fundraising.  Contributions to the Project Gutenberg
+Literary Archive Foundation are tax deductible to the full extent
+permitted by U.S. federal laws and your state's laws.
+
+The Foundation's principal office is located at 4557 Melan Dr. S.
+Fairbanks, AK, 99712., but its volunteers and employees are scattered
+throughout numerous locations.  Its business office is located at
+809 North 1500 West, Salt Lake City, UT 84116, (801) 596-1887, email
+business@pglaf.org.  Email contact links and up to date contact

+
+For additional contact information:
+     Dr. Gregory B. Newby
+     Chief Executive and Director
+     gbnewby@pglaf.org
+
+
+Section 4.  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 https://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 including checks, online payments and credit card
+donations.  To donate, please visit: https://pglaf.org/donate
+
+
+Section 5.  General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic
+works.
+
+Professor Michael S. Hart was 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:
+
+     https://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.

+BY WAY OF INTRODUCTION
+
+Robert Lewis Balfour Stevenson, or Robert Louis Stevenson, as the world
+knows him, was still a boy when he published this rare volume of "A
+Child's Garden of Verses," although by the calendar he was thirty-five
+years old. You and I have sighed, no doubt, to be a boy again, but here
+was one who, while he outgrew his knickerbockers, never outgrew the quick
+sympathy, the brave heart, the fresh outlook, the confident faith and
+buoyant spirit of the little Scotch boy who roamed the hills 'round
+Edinburgh. Better than any man of any time he was able to enter into the
+heart of a boy, to view things with a boy's eyes, and to write of them in
+simple verse, touched with the warmth and color of his rich imagination.
+In these "Verses" he writes as a child rather than about children, and in
+this lies much of the charm which they possess for little readers. There
+is in them the surprise of reality, the beauty of a simple rhythm, and the
+mysterious flavor of magic that grips a boy's heart and will not let him
+go until the book has become a part of him. Surely this is a rare quality
+in schoolbooks.
+
+The Stevensons had been famous engineers for more than a hundred years,
+building lighthouses along the Scottish coast, and it was natural that his
+father should have expected Robert Louis to follow in the family
+footsteps. But the slim boy with brown eyes, who at eight had written a
+"History of Moses," and illustrated it with his own pen; who was slow to
+learn from books, but quick to understand things that he saw and felt; the
+boy who carried a volume of history in one pocket and a notebook in
+another, had other plans for himself, and even his father came to see the
+wisdom of his son's choice of a literary life. As early as 1873, when
+only twenty-three years old, Stevenson was ordered south for the winter by
+his physician, to ward off impending consumption. For more than twenty
+years, or until his death in Samoa late in 1894, he was never far from
+this pursuing enemy. It followed him over tossing seas and through many
+lands as he journeyed in search of health; yet through all these years he
+carried a brave and happy heart, and wrote at the end this Requiem, the
+last three lines of which are upon his tomb on the mountain-top in Samoa;
+
+    "Under the wide and starry sky,
+    Dig the grave and let me lie.
+    Glad did I live and gladly die,
+      And I laid me down with a will.
+    "This be the verse you grave for me:
+    _Here he lies where he longed to be;_
+    _Home is the sailor, home from sea,_
+      _And the hunter home from the hill_."
+
+Robert Louis Stevenson's first book, "An Inland Voyage," was published in
+1878, when he was twenty-eight years old, and is a fresh and charming
+account of a canoe trip up the rivers of Holland. It was during this
+journey that he wrote: "If we were charged so much a head for sunsets, or
+if God sent around a drum before the hawthorn came into flower, what a
+work we should make about their beauty! But these things, like good
+companions, stupid people early cease to observe."
+
+The next year came his "Travels With a Donkey," which told in the same
+naive style the story of his journey through the Cevennes Mountains with
+no other companion than a donkey, whose gait he describes as being "As
+much slower than a walk as a walk is slower than a run."
+
+He first visited America in 1879, in search of health, returning in 1880
+to Scotland with Mrs. Stevenson, whom he had married in California. In
+1887 he came again with the hope that a dry winter in the Adirondack
+Mountains would stand off the hand of Death. But he was little benefited,
+and took up his search for health by chartering a yacht for a voyage
+through the South Seas. It was on this trip that he fell in love with the
+beauty of the scenery and the healthful climate of Samoa, and in 1890 he
+took up his home there, never again to leave the island except for
+occasional visits to Honolulu and Sydney. And when the time came for him
+to die, the natives, with their knives and axes cut a path up the steep
+mountain-side and carried him on their broad shoulders to his grave on the
+mountain-top.
+
+"A Child's Garden of Verses" was first published in London in 1885, and
+long ago became a children's classic; yet it is now for the first time
+made available as a supplementary reader for the primary grades in a
+suitable form and at a possible price. There have been many and beautiful
+editions, but they have all appealed to "grown-ups" rather than to boys
+and girls to whom the book really belongs. To put such a book, with its
+simple style, its wise observations, its kindly sympathy, and fanciful
+humor into the hands of a boy or girl, is not only to make him happy, it
+is to start him on the straight path to culture.
+
+This volume contains all the poems originally appearing under the title "A
+Child's Garden of Verses." The poems grouped under "The Child Alone,"
+"Garden Days," and "Envoys" have been omitted, as many of them are too
+philosophical to be understood by children in the primary grades.
+
+The illustrations in this book are used by special arrangement with Harper
+& Brothers of New York City, who publish the complete "Verses" in a
+beautiful edition suitable for the home or the library.
+
+So with Stevenson's own words the book is yours:
+
+    "Go little book, and wish to all,
+    Flowers in the garden, meat in the hall,
+    A living river by the door,
+    A nightingale in the sycamore."

+    For the long nights you lay awake
+    And watched for my unworthy sake:
+    For your most comfortable hand
+    That led me through the uneven land:
+    For all the story-books you read:
+    For all the pains you comforted:
+    For all you pitied, all you bore,
+    In sad and happy days of yore:--
+    My second Mother, my first Wife,
+    The angel of my infant life--
+    From the sick child, now well and old,
+    Take, nurse, the little book you hold!
+
+    And grant it, Heaven, that all who read
+    May find as dear a nurse at need,
+    And every child who lists my rhyme,
+    In the bright, fireside, nursery clime,
+    May hear it in as kind a voice
+    As made my childish days rejoice!

+
+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 tree,
+    Or hear the grown-up people's feet
+    Still going past me in the street.
+
+    And does it not seem hard to you
+    When all the sky is clear and blue,
+    And I should like so much to play,
+    To have to go to bed by day?
+
+[Illustration: _"So fine a show was never seen."_]
+
+
+
+
+YOUNG NIGHT THOUGHT
+
+
+    All night long and every night,
+    When my mama puts out the light
+    I see the people marching by,
+    As plain as day, before my eye.
+
+    Armies and emperors and kings,
+    All carrying different kinds of things,
+    And marching in so grand a way,
+    You never saw the like by day.
+
+    So fine a show was never seen
+    At the great circus on the green;
+    For every kind of beast and man
+    Is marching in that caravan.
+
+    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.
+

+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.
+
+
+
+
+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.
+
+[Illustration: _"I have a little shadow."_]
+
+    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]

+

+
+
+    A birdie with a yellow bill
+      Hopped upon the window sill,
+    Cocked his shining eye and said:
+      'Ain't you shamed, you sleepy-head?'
+

+
+
+    When I was down beside the sea
+      A wooden spade they gave to me
+      To dig the sandy shore.
+    My holes were empty like a cup,
+    In every hole the sea came up.
+      Till it could come no more.

+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.

+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?
+
+[Illustration: _"Three of us afloat."_]
+
+    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 harbor and the garden is the shore.

+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: _"I looked abroad on foreign lands."_]
+
+
+
+
+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 into 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.
+
+
+
+
+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.
+

+
+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.
+

+
+
+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: _"I was happy all the day."_]
+
+
+
+
+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 tomorrow 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]
+
+
+
+
+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.

+
+The Swing
+
+
+    How do you like to go up in a swing,
+      Up in the air so blue?
+    Oh, I do think it the pleasantest thing
+      Ever a child can do!
+
+    Up in the air and over the wall,
+      Till I can see so wide,
+    Rivers and trees and cattle and all
+      Over the countryside--
+
+    Till I look down on the garden green,
+      Down on the roof so brown--
+    Up in the air I go flying again,
+      Up in the air and down!

+
+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.

+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;
+    Feet 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.

+TRAVEL
+
+
+    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;--
+
+[Illustration: _"Where the red flamingo flies."_]
+
+    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.

+    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.

+ESCAPE AT BEDTIME
+
+    The lights from the parlor 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 glistened and winked in the dark.
+
+    The Dog, and the Plough, and the Hunter, and all,
+      And the star of the sailor, and Mars,
+    These shown 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.

+    All through the meadows the horses and cattle:
+    All of the sights of the hill and the plain
+    Fly as thick as driving rain;
+    And ever again, in the wink of an eye,
+    Painted stations whistle by.
+
+    Here is a child who clambers and scrambles,--
+    All by himself and gathering brambles;
+    Here is a tramp who stands and gazes;
+    And there is the green for stringing the daisies!

+      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,

+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.

+MY BED IS A BOAT
+
+
+    My bed is like a little boat;
+      Nurse helps me in when I embark;
+    She girds me in my sailor's coat
+      And starts me in the dark.
+
+    At night, I go on board and say
+      Good-night to all my friends on shore;
+    I shut my eyes and sail away
+      And see and hear no more.
+
+    And sometimes things to bed I take,
+      As prudent sailors have to do;
+    Perhaps a slice of wedding-cake,
+      Perhaps a toy or two.
+
+    All night across the dark we steer;
+      But when the day returns at last,
+    Safe in my room, beside the pier,
+      I find my vessel fast.

+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-side 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.

+FAIRY BREAD

+      Here is fairy bread to eat
+    Here in my retiring room,
+      Children, you may dine
+    On the golden smell of broom

+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--
+      Marvelous 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 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 quarreled,
+      I with your marble of Saturday last,
+    Honored and old and all gaily appareled,
+      Here we shall meet and remember the past.

+WINTER-TIME
+
+
+    Late lies the wintry sun a-bed,
+    A frosty, fiery sleepy-head;
+    Blinks but an hour or two; and then,
+    A blood-red orange, sets again.
+
+    Before the stars have left the skies,
+    At morning in the dark I rise;
+    And shivering in my nakedness,
+    By the cold candle, bathe and dress.
+
+    Close by the jolly fire I sit
+    To warm my frozen bones a bit;
+    Or with a reindeer-sled, explore
+    The colder countries round the door.
+
+    When to go out, my nurse doth wrap
+    Me in my comforter and cap;
+    The cold wind burns my face, and blows
+    Its frosty pepper up my nose.
+
+    Black are my steps on silvery sod;
+    Thick blows my frosty breath abroad;
+    And tree and house, and hill and lake,
+    Are frosted like a wedding-cake.

+    Sailing blossoms, silver fishes,
+      Paven pools as clear as air--
+        How a child wishes
+        To live down there!
+
+    We can see our colored faces
+      Floating on the shaken pool
+        Down in cool places,
+        Dim and very cool;
+
+    Till a wind or water wrinkle,
+      Dipping marten, plumping trout,
+        Spreads in a twinkle
+        And blots all out.
+
+[Illustration: _"We can see our colored faces."_]
+
+    See the rings pursue each other;
+      All below grows black as night,
+        Just as if mother
+        Had blown out the light!
+
+    Patience, children, just a minute--
+      See the spreading circles die;
+        The stream and all in it
+        Will clear by-and-by.

+    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.

+THE LAMPLIGHTER
+
+
+    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 teatime 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!

+    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,

+    You must dwell beyond the foam,

+THE MOON
+
+
+    The moon has a face like the clock in the hall;

+    On streets and fields and harbor quays,
+    And birdies asleep in the forks of the trees.
+
+    The squalling cat and the squeaking mouse,
+    The howling dog by the door of the house,
+    The bat that lies in bed at noon,
+    All love to be out by the light of the moon.
+
+    But all of the things that belong to the day
+    Cuddle to sleep to be out of her way;
+    And flowers and children close their eyes
+    Till up in the morning the sun shall arise.

+THE HAYLOFT
+
+
+    Through all the pleasant meadow-side
+      The grass grew shoulder-high,
+    Till the shining scythes went far and wide
+      And cut it down to dry.
+
+    These green and sweetly smelling crops
+      They led in wagons home;
+    And they piled them here in mountain-tops
+      For mountaineers to roam.
+
+    Here is Mount Clear, Mount Rusty-Nail,
+      Mount Eagle and Mount High;--
+    The mice that in these mountains dwell,
+      No happier are than I!

+FAREWELL TO THE FARM

+
+    To house and garden, field and lawn,
+    The meadow-gates we swang upon,

+
+    And fare you well for evermore,
+    O ladder at the hayloft door,
+    O hayloft where the cobwebs cling,
+    Good-bye, good-bye, to everything!

+    Like pictures, on the window-glass.
+
+    Must we to bed indeed? Well then,
+    Let us arise and go like men,
+    And face with an undaunted tread

+      And it moves with the moving flame.
+
+    Now my little heart goes a-beating like a drum,
+      With the breath of Bogie in my hair,
+    And all round the candle the crooked shadows come,
+      And go marching along up the stair.
+
+    The shadow of the balusters, the shadow of the lamp,
+      The shadow of the child that goes to bed--
+    All the wicked shadows coming, tramp, tramp, tramp,

+    Last, to the chamber where I lie

+    And come from out the cold and gloom
+    Into my warm and cheerful room.
+
+    There, safe arrived, we turn about
+    To keep the coming shadows out,
+    And close the happy door at last
+    On all the perils that we past.
+
+    Then, when mamma goes by to bed,
+    She shall come in with tip-toe tread,
+    And see me lying warm and fast
+    And in the Land of Nod at last.

+
+1.F.1.  Project Gutenberg volunteers and employees expend considerable
+effort to identify, do copyright research on, transcribe and proofread
+public domain works in creating the Project Gutenberg-tm
+collection.  Despite these efforts, Project Gutenberg-tm electronic
+works, and the medium on which they may be stored, may contain
+"Defects," such as, but not limited to, incomplete, inaccurate or
+corrupt data, transcription errors, a copyright or other intellectual
+property infringement, a defective or damaged disk or other medium, a
+computer virus, or computer codes that damage or cannot be read by
+your equipment.

+Project Gutenberg-tm work, and (c) any Defect you cause.

+Section  2.  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 https://www.pglaf.org.
+
+
+Section 3.  Information about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive
+Foundation

+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

+
+
+Section 4.  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 https://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 including checks, online payments and credit card
+donations.  To donate, please visit: https://pglaf.org/donate
+
+
+Section 5.  General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic
+works.
+
+Professor Michael S. Hart was 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:
+
+     https://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.
