From far and near on the green The children can be seen; They dance, they run, they skip and roll Around the huge May pole. \ In garlands neat upon each bough The flowers formed are now, And clothed in brightness all around The happy folks are found. The mufte floats upon the breeze And through the new leaved trees, The children, clad in bright array, Never were seen more gay. This May Day fear» will long be kept, Its joys we'll e’er accept, And we will wait patiently For April next to flee. -o SPRING The Alder by tirte river Shakes out her powdery curia; The willow buds in silver For little boys and girled < \ Hie little birds fly over— And oh, how sweet they sing— To tell the happy children That once again ’tia spring. The gay green grass comes creeping The buttercups are coming And scarlet columbine, And in the sunny meadows The dandelions shine. And just as many daisies As their soft hands can hold The little ones may gather, All fair in white and gold. Here blooms the warm red clover There peeps the violet blue; Oh happy little children, God made them all for you. —SELECTED -o ANSWERS TO LAST WEEKS HISTORY QUESTIONS 1.
