Five Little Fingers

by Ella Wheeler Wilcox

Ella Wheeler Wilcox

This is the baby who doesn't do a thing,
This is the lady who loves to wear a ring,
This is their big sister, this is another,
And this stout thumb is their great sturdy brother.

    The Wind Voice
    by John Vance Cheney
    " Step softly; where your foot is was a flower. Perhaps upon June's dearest grave you tread. " It follows me, haunts every autumn hour, The wind voice talking of the blossom dead.
