CHANGEABLE WEATHER
How very changeable can be
The weather in the nursery!
The sun was warm enough, at three,
To suit a basking lizard;
And yet at four o'clock or so
The glass fell quickly, till with snow
Among the Dears began to blow
A disconcerting blizzard.
The weather in the nursery!
The sun was warm enough, at three,
To suit a basking lizard;
And yet at four o'clock or so
The glass fell quickly, till with snow
Among the Dears began to blow
A disconcerting blizzard.
At three I left my work awhile
To take downstairs a beamy smile
And there discover just the style
Of merriment and caper;
At four, with scratches on his nose,
The corner kicking with his toes,
Dear Dick was pouting at a rose
Upon the nursery paper!
To take downstairs a beamy smile
And there discover just the style
Of merriment and caper;
At four, with scratches on his nose,
The corner kicking with his toes,
Dear Dick was pouting at a rose
Upon the nursery paper!
At five o'clock, affection's pain
So moved me that I went again,
In hope of sunshine after rain,
Among the darling sillies;
And there were Marjorie and Nell
And George, with kisses making well
The wounds on Dickie's nose that fell,
And all as sweet as lilies!
So moved me that I went again,
In hope of sunshine after rain,
Among the darling sillies;
And there were Marjorie and Nell
And George, with kisses making well
The wounds on Dickie's nose that fell,
And all as sweet as lilies!
