Five Little Toes In The Morning

by Ella Wheeler Wilcox

Ella Wheeler Wilcox

This little toe is hungry-
This little toe is too,
This toe lies abed like a sleepy head,
And this toe cries "Boo-hoo."
This toe big and tall is the smartest of all
For he pops into stocking and shoe.

    Rappel D'Amour
    by Henry van Dyke
    Come home, my love, come home! The twilight is falling, The whippoorwill calling, The night is very near, And the darkness full of fear, Come home to my arms, come home!
