Oh, Fair To See

by Christina Rossetti

Christina Rossetti

Oh, fair to see
Blossom-laden cherry tree,
Arrayed in sunny white;
An April day's delight,
Oh, fair to see!
Oh, fair to see
Fruit-laden cherry tree,
With balls of shining red
Decking a leafy head,
Oh, fair to see!

    His Vigil
    by James Whitcomb Riley
    Close the book and dim the light, I shall read no more to-night. No--I am not sleepy, dear-- Do not go: sit by me here In the darkness and the deep Silence of the watch I keep.
