VERSES FOR YOU

DAFFODILS. (Original.) Daffodils come creeping, Their shoot 3 are peeping Through the brown turf. To brighten the earth. Next there comes a green stem, And lots and lots of them. Dressed in yellow frills. In all the streets of the town, (They are swaying, up and down. "PRAIRIE MOON" (12). Wellington South. OFF TO THE SEASIDE. (Original.) Weta going for a holiday; Down to the sea. We'll be leaving- tomorrow. Mum. Dad, and me. I'm going to climb all the. rocks. And go fishing as well; Then I'll. paddle and bathe And gather many a shell. i Then I'll make fine castles, With niy bucket and spade, And to get some winkles, la the sea I must wade. And I'm going to forget about school, And have the loveliest time; For there's quite a lot more days left And there's a tot more rocks to climb. Them when the happy dfcys are done, We'll board the train once more, . lo- leave behind the silver sea. And the sandy shore. "GREAT GREENFEATHEB.'"

EVENING. (Original.) ' The sun is sinking In the west. Shadows are softly falling; Birds and flowers have gone to rest. And the children: cesse their calling. Tne moon Is floating, in the sky. The stars are shyly peeping,. While, the hours go sailing by, ■ All the world %s sleeping; "EJAWA." (13). Kllbirnie.

PICTURES IN THE FIRE." (Original.) On a cold and wintry night. When- F sit besfdto the flre, il see lots of pictures in it; Many a castle, with & spire. I see many fair princesses. With lovely golden hair. And handsome knights on chargers. Chasing: dragons' from their lair. t see ogres in their castles, Upt/tt the highest hills, And underground caverns, And waterfalls and rills. " . But when the flre is burning low, AE t&» pretty pictures go, But when taa flames are. leaping high. They'll come *gain I mow. "GREAT GRKEKFEATHER" (13) Johasonville.
