ELIZABETH
(Selected) Elizabeth went to the edge of the wood, And under the beech tree she silently stood. Till the little red squirrels came down from the tree: Such a quiet little girl they were anxious to see. They called for the rabbits, and there in the clearing, With nobody seeing and nobody hearing, They played with Elizabeth all the long day, Till the birds fell asleep, and the sun went away. —Sent in by Helen Turney, Motueka. _____________
