VERSES WE'VE MADE

THE FAIRIES' PLAYTIME. (Original.) Sne tho little fairies Fluttering o'er the grass, Watch their little dewy wings That glitter as they pass. Watch a little closer, See them rise and fall, Hear them say a fairy ward, • ' Then catch a fairy ball. Watch another moment, Then they'll disappear, Never to come back again, Until another year. "CATHERINE LEE" (14). Kllblrnie. • ' SIGNS OF SPRING. (Original.) There's a whisper in the winds, of springtime, A whisper, faint, but true, ■.•-■. | And all the thoughts of springtime, Are coming back to you. There's a story in the flowers, of springtime, j A story, short, but true, . ■ • . : Of how they turned their faces ] To a sky of palest blue. ' j There's' a song in the brook, of springtime, A tinkling sons and true, ' ! For snys tho brook, "I trickle onwards AH tho year through." i There's a bright lap in the waves, of sprlnstimo, ' ' . As they fall on tho ebldcn sand, A lap as if they too are gjad That spring is near at' hand. "TOADFLAX" (11). Hataitai. • ' ' ■ , ' Karori.. . SPRINGTIME. (Original.) Tho birds are singing in the- trees. The flowers are waiting for the bees, The daffodils are coming out, And everything begins to sprout. The pussywillow begins to bud. And mother washes with soap and sud, The breezes blow and the sky looks blue, So that's how spring has come to you. "DAISY SIAID" (7).

Island Bay. FAREWELL TO WINTER. (Original.) Farewell, winter, with snow so cold, Good-bye, winds, that blow so bold. Welcome, Summer, with sun of sold, Welcome days with Joj'3 untold.
