Late in the night when the fires are out, Why does he gallop and gallop about ?

Trembled the wee Elf, Frightened, and yet Fearing to fly away Lest he get wet. To the next shelter — Maybe a mile ! Sudden the wee Elf Smiled a wee smile, Tugged till the toadstool Toppled in two.

Página 118 - No, leave them alone Till the blossoms have grown," Prayed the Tree, while he trembled from rootlet to crown. The Tree bore his blossoms, and all the birds sung; "Shall I take them away?
Página 19 - I love and I love !" In the winter they're silent — the wind is so strong ; What it says, I don't know, but it sings a loud song. But green leaves, and blossoms, and sunny warm weather, And singing, and loving — all come back together. But the Lark is so brimful of gladness and love, The green fields below him, the blue sky above, That he sings, and he sings ; and forever sings he, "I love my Love, and my Love loves me !
