His Wish

His Wish 

If a good little fairy should come up to me

And give me a wish, I just know what twould be.

I'd wish 'stead of one little boy I was three,--

One English, one Chinese and one just me.

Thats what I'd wish, and do you know why?

'Cause 'stead of one best day that seems to just fly,

I'd have three of those days in the year, oh my!

Guy Fawkes' day and New years and Fourth of July.

The Happy Wind

The Happy Wind

by Ninette M. Isowater

A Happy little southern wind

Went wandering away;

It was the dearest little wind

That ever went astray.

It touched the city's outer edge,

Then swiftly turned aside,

For it had heard that little winds,

Caught by the hot streets, died.

It wend along a country lane,

And through the meadows fair; 

It lifted up a horse's mane,

And stirred a baby's hair.

It lingered in a quiet place

Where tall, fair lilies grow;

When moon drew near, it hid itself

Where pines stand in a row.

It slept until the shadows turned,

Then, dancing, went its way;

No other little wind that blew

Had such a pleasant day.

The Fourth of July

The Fourth of July 

by Aunt Fanny

Come, wake up, girls, come

wake up, boys!

The dawn is very near;

The day we celebrate with noise,

The jolly Fourth is here.

Come, get your crackers for

the fun,

Both big and little size;

We'll wake up echoes when

the sun

Begins to open his eyes.

It's pop and bang till shadows

fall,

Then, when the night comes

on,

The most exciting time of all

Is fireworks on the lawn.

Pa sets the rockets 'gainst a 

post, They fizz and screech and

fly,

They fizz and screech and fly

Away up out of sight a'most,

Then crash against the sky!

Santa Claus's Scout

Santa Claus's Scout

by Eunice Ward.

On Christmas Eve, when lights are dim,

But eager eyes with excitement shine,

The Sandman steals from the chimney-place,

And glancing round, makes a backward sign.

He dips his hand in his pouch of sand,

The silver grains flinging far and white;

And listens, then, for the drowsy sighs

That come when eyes under lashes hide.

He softly tiptoes from crib to crib,

And sifts the sand in a tiny heap;

Then up the chimney he gaily calls,

"Come, Santa Claus, they are sound asleep!"
