Looking Forward

by Robert Louis Stevenson

Robert Louis Stevenson

When I am grown to man's estate
I shall be very proud and great,
And tell the other girls and boys
Not to meddle with my toys.

    Japanese lullaby
    by Eugene Field
    Sleep, little pigeon, and fold your wings,-- Little blue pigeon with velvet eyes; Sleep to the singing of mother-bird swinging-- Swinging the nest where her little one lies.
