68 THEY DIDN'T THINK And can't you take a warning When it was too late? Don't think there's always safety Don't suppose you know more But when you're warned of ruin, Pause upon the brink, And don't go under headlong, 'Cause you didn't think. PHOEBE CARY. TWINKLE, TWINKLE, LITTLE STAR TWINKLE, twinkle, Little Star; How I wonder what you are! Up above the world so high, When the glorious sun is set, In the dark blue sky you keep, As your bright and tiny spark JANE TAYLOR. THANKSGIVING DAY VER the river and through the wood, To carry the sleigh Through the white and drifted snow. Over the river and through the wood, Oh, how the wind does blow! It stings the toes, And bites the nose, As over the ground we go. Over the river and through the wood, "Ting-a-ling-ding!" Hurrah for Thanksgiving Day! Over the river and through the wood Trot fast, my dapple gray! Spring over the ground Like a hunting hound! THANKSGIVING DAY Over the river and through the wood, Extremely slow,— It is so hard to wait! Over the river and through the wood; Is the pudding done? Hurrah for the pumpkin pie! 71 LYDIA MARIA CHILD. UP AND DOWN THE sun is gone down, And the moon's in the sky; But the sun will come up, The flower is asleep, When the winter comes It will die-no, no; It will only hide From the frost and snow. Sure is the summer, Sure is the sun; The night and the winter Away they run. GEORGE MACDONALD. |
