+
+ _A BUNCH_ of Christmas Roses, dear,
+ To greet my fairest child,
+ I plucked them in my garden where
+ The drifting snow lay piled.
+
+ I cannot bring thee violets dear,
+ Or cowslips growing wild,
+ Or daisy chain for thee to wear,
+ For thee to wear, my child.
+
+ For all the grassy meadows near
+ Are clad with snow, my child;
+ Through all the days of winter drear
+ No ray of sun has smiled.
+
+ I plucked this bunch of verses, dear,
+ From out my garden wild,
+ I plucked them in the winter drear
+ For you, my fairest child,
+ Your wet and wintry hours to cheer,
+ They're Christmas Roses, child.

+
+ _THE CHRISTMAS STOCKING._
+
+ "_I DON'T_ believe that Santa Claus will come to you and me,"
+ Said little crippled Nell, "a'cause, we are so poor you see;
+ And then I don't believe the 'chimbley's' wide enough for him,
+ D'ye think that Santa Claus will come, when all the lights are dim."
+ "Of course he comes to every one, dear, whether rich or poor;
+ Now go to bed dear Nell," said Nan, "he'll come to-night I'm sure."
+
+ * * * * *
+
+ I don't know if by chimney or if by stair he crept,
+ But sure enough he visited the room where Nelly slept.
+ He brought a golden orange, and a monkey red and blue,
+ That climbed a little wooden stick in a way I couldn't do.
+ He hung them in Nell's stocking, and Nan was right, be sure,
+ That Santa Claus loves every one however rich or poor.
+
+
+
+
+ [Illustration]
+
+ _THE PET RABBIT._
+
+ "_I HAVE_ a little Bunny with a coat as soft as down,
+ And nearly all of him is white except one bit of brown.
+ The first thing in the morning when I get out of bed,
+ I wonder if my Bunny's still safe in his little shed.
+
+ And than the next thing that I do I dare say you have guessed;
+ It's to go at once and see him, when I am washed and dressed.
+ And every day I see him I like him more and more,
+ And each day he is bigger than he was the day before.
+
+ I feed him in the morning with bran and bits of bread,
+ And every night I take some straw to make his little bed.
+ What with carrots in the morning and turnip-tops for tea,
+ If a bunny can be happy, I'm sure he ought to be.
+
+ Then when it's nearly bedtime I go down to his shed,
+ And say 'Good night you Bunny' before I go to bed.
+ I think there's only one thing that would make me happy quite,
+ If I could take my Bunny dear with me to bed at night?"
+
+ [Illustration: THE PET RABBIT.]

+ [Illustration]
+
+ FATHER'S BOAT.
+
+ _IT'S_ Father's boat we're watching,
+ Away out on the sea,
+ She's named the Pretty Polly,
+ One hundred and ninety three,
+ Father called her the Polly,
+ After Mother and me.
+
+ There isn't a smarter boat
+ Than Father's on the sea,
+ The Pretty Polly is _our_ ship,
+ Father's the skipper is he,
+ And we are watching for Father,
+ We're watching, Nancy and me.
+
+ Sometimes the wind blows wildly,
+ But Nancy, and Mother, and me,
+ We sing a bit of a hymn we know,
+ The hymn for those at sea,
+ Although when we think of Father,
+ We're as near to choke as can be.
+
+ To-night the moon will be shining,
+ A sight it will be to see,
+ Father's ship all in silver,
+ A'sail on a silver sea,
+ And Father himself a coming home
+ To Mother and Nancy and me.
+
+ [Illustration: FATHER'S BOAT.]
+
+
+
+
+ [Illustration]
+
+ _A MISTAKE._
+
+ "_MY_ dears, whatever are you at?
+ You ought to be at home;
+ I told you not to wet your feet--
+ I told you not to roam.
+
+ "Oh, dear! I'm sure you will be drowned!
+ _I_ never saw such tricks
+ Come home at once, and go to bed,
+ You naughty naughty chicks."
+
+ Now most of them were five days old,
+ But one, whose age was six--
+ "Please, ma'am," said he, "I think we're ducks;
+ I don't believe we're chicks!"
+
+ [Illustration: LITTLE DUCKS.]
+
+
+
+
+ [Illustration]
+
+ _A SAD TALE._
+
+ "_Who's_ afraid of a cat?" said he;
+ "I'm not afraid of a cat."
+ He was a bird who sat on a rail,
+ With five other birds, and this was his tale.
+ "I'm not afraid of a cat."
+
+ "I _might_ be afraid if I were a mouse,
+ Or even if I were a rat:
+ But as I'm a bird
+ I give you my word
+ I'm not afraid of a cat."
+
+ A cat and her kits came down on the scene,
+ Five birds flew over the rail;
+ Our hero was caught
+ As quick as a thought,
+ And didn't he alter his tale!
+
+ "You've made a mistake, Mister Cat," said he;
+ "You must please let me go, Mister Cat.
+ I'm not at all nice,
+ I don't taste like mice:
+ You'd much better have a young rat."
+ Said the cat, "It's no use,
+ You may be a goose,
+ I'll not let you go for all that."
+
+
+
+
+ _THE CREW OF THE NANCY LEE._
+
+ [Illustration]
+
+ _Polly's_ the mate of the Nancy Lee,
+ And Tom is the skipper bold,
+ They sail together
+ In rough wind and weather,
+ And they are the crew, all told.
+
+ In their taut and trim little boat they ride
+ Away o'er the bright blue sea,
+ With hands ever ready,
+ And hearts ever steady,
+ Whatever the dangers may be.
+ And a smarter crew will never be found,
+ Though you may search the whole world round.
+
+
+
+
+ [Illustration: HIE FOR CHRISTMAS.]
+
+ _HIE FOR CHRISTMAS!_
+
+ _Bring_ Frost, bring Snow,
+ Come winter,
+ Bring us holly,
+ Bring joy at Christmas,
+ Off with Melancholy!
+
+ Sing hie, sing hey,
+ Sing ho,
+ Sing holly,
+ Sing hie for Christmas!
+ Isn't winter jolly?
+
+ Sing Jack, Sing Jill,
+ Sing Jo,
+ Sing Polly,
+ Sing hie for Christmas,
+ Mistletoe and Holly.
+
+
+
+
+ [Illustration: PUTTING AWAY THE TOYS.]
+
+ [Illustration]
+
+ _BEDTIME._
+
+ "_It's_ bedtime, bedtime, Cissy dear,
+ It's time to put away,
+ Your little Noah's ark dear
+ Until another day,
+ You know it isn't right at all
+ To tire yourself with play.
+
+ And they too must be tired dear,
+ The elephants want to go
+ To bed,--if they're much later,
+ They'll all be ill I know,
+ And every well bred camel,
+ Is in bed long ago.
+
+ And surely you can see dear,
+ It really isn't right,
+ The little dove's so tired dear,
+ She scarce can stand upright.
+ It does not do to keep them up
+ So very late at night."
+
+
+
+
+ [Illustration]
+
+ _PUSS IN THE CORNER._
+
+ "_You_ are a naughty pussy-cat,
+ I think it right to mention that,
+ To all who see your picture here,
+ 'Twas you who broke my Bunny dear.
+
+ An hour ago, as you can tell,
+ I left him here, alive and well;
+ And now he's _dead_ and, what is more,
+ You've broke his leg I'm pretty sure.
+
+ For you my puss I'll never care,
+ No never, never, never, _there_,
+ And you are in disgrace you know,
+ And in the corner you must go.
+
+ What crying? Then I must cry too
+ And I can't bear to punish you;
+ Perhaps my Bunny isn't dead,
+ Perhaps you've only stunned his head.
+
+ And though I'm sure you broke his leg,
+ It may be mended with a peg,
+ And though he's very, very, funny,
+ My Bunny's not a real Bunny,
+ And I'll forgive and tell you that,
+ You're my own precious pussy cat."
+
+ [Illustration: PUSS IN THE CORNER.]
+
+
+
+
+ [Illustration]
+
+ _THE LITTLE HE AND SHE._
+
+ _Once_ there lived, I'm not sure where,
+ May be Arcadee,
+ Sweet-Heart and his mistress fair,
+ Little He and She;
+
+ And they danced a measure light,
+ Danced in very glee.
+ Hand in hand, a pretty sight,
+ Little He and She.
+
+ When they ceased his bright eyes fell,
+ Darling must we stay?
+ Can't we dance so happily
+ You and I for aye?
+
+ Then she clasped his hand again,
+ Whispered sweet and low,
+ "Dearest, always hand in hand
+ You and I will go."
+
+ So they danced with merry feet,
+ E'en in Arcadee,
+ Happier pair you ne'er will meet,
+ Little He and She.
+
+
+
+
+ [Illustration]
+
+ _LITTLE BO-PEEP._
+
+ _Little_ Bo-peep has lost her Sheep,
+ (It's a secret to you I'm confiding.)
+ At the end of the shelf,
+ Where she put them herself,
+ Her Baa-lambs are safely hiding.
+
+ If you put a thing carefully, safely away,
+ You're sure not to find it when wanted next day.
+
+
+
+
+ [Illustration: HOPES AND FEARS.]
+
+ [Illustration]
+
+ _HOPES AND FEARS._
+
+ _Like_ clouds that flit across the sky,
+ So follow hopes and fears.
+ What in these clouds see you and me
+ Dear Sweetheart, smiles or tears?
+
+ This little airy fleecy wing,
+ That flits across the blue,
+ What message Sweetheart does it bring
+ Of hope or fear to you?
+
+ Pray God it brings you _sunny hours_
+ And haply some few _tears_
+ To bless like showers your summer flowers
+ In the long coming years.
+
+
+
+
+ [Illustration]
+
+ _THE STORY BOOK FAIRY._
+
+ _Shall_ I sing you a song, not short and not long,
+ Of a story-book fairy who hides all among
+ The covers and leaves of your pictures and prints,
+ And colors them all with such beautiful tints?
+
+ First he kisses the girls with the fairest of curls
+ Then they blush like red roses and each head whirls.
+ In each little eye drops a bit of blue sky,
+ And colors each frock with a wonderful dye.
+
+ His breathing I ween is the wonderful sheen,
+ That clothes trees and meadows with loveliest green,
+ The buttercups bold, it need hardly be told,
+ Are gilded by him with the finest of gold.
+
+ It is he I suppose who paints the red rose,
+ And the rest of the flowers which every one knows,
+ And the same red will do (or a similar hue),
+ For Robin and little Red Riding Hood too.
+
+ He's awake it is said when you are abed,
+ For the picture-book doggies and cats must be fed,
+ To the picture-book children some stories he'll tell,
+ And sometimes he'll read them their verses as well.
+
+ The moment you open your picture book he
+ Is away out of sight as quick as can be,
+ For fairy law says that a fairy must die
+ The instant he's seen by one human eye.
+
+
+
+
+ _SPRING._
+
+ _The_ tiny crocus is so bold
+ It peeps its head above the mould,
+ Before the flowers awaken,
+ To say that spring is coming, dear,
+ With sunshine and that winter drear
+ Will soon be overtaken.
+
+ [Illustration]
+
+
+
+
+ [Illustration]
+
+ _GOLDEN DAYS._
+
+ _There_ are days of summer sunshine,
+ Of warm and sunny weather,
+ When the hedge is full of hawthorn
+ And hills are glad with heather.
+
+ There are days of silent sadness,
+ Of frost, and snow, and rain,
+ When we fear that summer's gladness
+ Will never come again.
+
+ And now our songs are minor key,
+ And now in merry tune;
+ The windward side will change to lee,
+ And January to June.
+
+ Day and night the sun is shining,
+ Though he may hide his head;
+ Each cloud has a silver lining,
+ The flowers are asleep not dead.
+
+ Every day may have its playtime
+ Made bright by cheerful lays;
+ And life be one long Maytime,
+ A year of golden days.
+
+ [Illustration: GOLDEN DAYS.]
+
+
+
+
+ [Illustration]
+
+ _A SLANDER._
+
+ "_Shake_ hands, shake hands my little girl,"
+ Said Mister Crab to Nell,
+ "I'm very glad to meet you dear,
+ I hope you are quite well.
+ I think it's very hot to-day,
+ I feel it in my shell."
+
+ "I can't shake hands with you," said Nell,
+ "It isn't thought polite,
+ Without an introduction;
+ Besides, no doubt it's spite,
+ It mayn't be true, but still they do,
+ They do say that you--BITE."
+
+
+
+
+ [Illustration]
+
+ _A SONG._
+
+ I _hear_ a Song
+ I think 'tis a thrush's.
+ He sings to the Wild Rose
+ See how she blushes!
+

+
+
+ [Illustration: THE EVENING HOUR.]
+
+ [Illustration]
+
+ _NEARLY BEDTIME._
+
+ _Only_ half an hour or so
+ Before nurse calls them to bed,
+ And the ruddy light of a cheerful fire
+ Shines over each curly head.
+
+ No trouble have they, no sorrow--
+ Their hearts are lighter than air,
+ No fear that a dark to-morrow
+ May bring with it want or care.
+
+ God send them each on their pathway
+ Many a wayside flower;
+ And grant, in the evening of lifetime,
+ The joy of the evening hour.

+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 http://www.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 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.
