THE OAK
“DEAR me, how nice this rain is,” said the Oak,
“I hope at last we’re in for a good soak;
My leaves were getting dusty, and my roots
Felt like a tired man’s toes inside his boots!”

CLOUDS
CURLY clouds of snowy white,
Fleecy islands in the light,
Prettier than cotton‐wool,
Come and be my bed to‐night.
E’en a king would not disdain
Golden cloud for counterpane,
White ones for the sheets so cool,
Pillows like a silken skein!
Oh! to sleep and dream, and wake
With the cloud’s first morning shake,
Hear the broad Earth stir below,
Watch the shining daylight break!
Lying safe upon my cloud,
Feeling like a fairy proud,
Sailing softly I should go,
Singing like the larks aloud!
