I’m Glad the Sky is Painted Blue
 I’m glad the sky is painted blue,
 And the earth is painted green,
 With such a lot of nice fresh air
 All sandwiched in between.
 -author unknown

Little Star
Twinkle, twinkle, little star,
How I wonder what you are!
Up above the world so high,
Like a diamond in the sky.
-Jane Taylor (1806)

Down, Down!
Down, down!
Yellow and brown
The leaves are falling
Over the town.
-Eleanor Farjeon (1926)

In the Hedge
Wrens and robin
s in the hedge,
Wrens and robins here and there;
Building, perching, pecking, fluttering,
Everywhere!
-Christina Rossetti (1830-1894)

Snow in the Garden
Here’s the soft snow again.
See now, once more,
Drifts at the window-pane,
Drifts by the door.
Run for your wooden spade,
Which it may be
Silver-sand castles made,
Drowned by the sea
Build now your tower here;
Let it be done
Ere it shall disappear
Drowned by the sun.
All our best castles and
Towers end so,
Builders in silver-sand,
Dreamers in snow!
-Eleanor Farjeon (1926)
