A RAINY DAY.[FOR A LITTLE BOY.]
Do? Like the things in the garden. Oh,
Just keep quiet awhile and grow.
Just keep quiet awhile and grow.
Do? Like the bird. It shuts its wings
And waits for the sun? Do you hear?—it sings!
And waits for the sun? Do you hear?—it sings!
Do? Like the lilies. Let it beat;
Nestle below it and be sweet.
Nestle below it and be sweet.
LET US GO TO FAIRYLAND.
Let us go to Fairyland
From the rain and from the snow.
Somewhere in the enchanted sand
May be footsteps we should know.
Come, I prithee, let us go.
From the rain and from the snow.
Somewhere in the enchanted sand
May be footsteps we should know.
Come, I prithee, let us go.
Yes, the child we loved was fair,
But too fragile was his hand.
But too golden was his hair.
He has gone to Fairyland;—
Looking thither need we stand?
But too fragile was his hand.
But too golden was his hair.
He has gone to Fairyland;—
Looking thither need we stand?
