Song for the Children

by Joe Wallace

I heard music unawares

Upstairs, downstairs,

Here and there and everywheres.

Never were such lovely airs

Upstairs, downstairs,

Here and there and everywheres.

Some one sings and some one shares

Upstairs, downstairs,

Here and there and everywheres.

Some one comes and some one cares

Upstairs, downstairs,

Here and there and everywheres.

Double love and double dares

Upstairs, downstairs,

Here and there and everywheres.

Good Night

Here's a body — there's a bed!

There's a pillow — here's a head!

There's a curtain — here's a light!

There's a puff — and so good night!

The Wind and the Moon

by George Macdonald

Said the Wind to the Moon, "I will blow you out,

You stare

In the air

Like a ghost in a chair."

He blew a great blast, and the thread was gone.

In the air

Nowhere

Was a moonbeam bare.

Bishop Hatto

(about rats) by R. Southey

They are not to be told by the dozen or score,

By thousands they come, and by myriads and more,

Such numbers had never been heard of before,

Such a judgement had never been witnessed of yore,

And in at the window and in at the door,

And through the walls helter-skelter they pour,

And down from the ceiling and up through the floor,

From the right and the left, from behind and before.
