		<title>Helen L. Bostwick &#8211; LITTLE DANDELION POEM</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Little bud Dandelion
  Hears from her nest,
&#8220;Merry heart, starry eye,
  Wake from your rest!&#8221;
Wide ope the emerald lids;
  Robin&#8217;s above;
Wise little Dandelion
  Smiles at his love.
Cold lie the daisy-banks,
  Clad but in green,
Where in the Mays agone
  Bright hues were seen.
Wild pinks are slumbering,
  Violets delay&#8211;
True little Dandelion

		<title>Edith M. Thomas &#8211; TALKING IN THEIR SLEEP POEM</title>
		<description><![CDATA[    &#8220;You think I am dead,&#8221;
    The apple tree said,
&#8220;Because I have never a leaf to show&#8211;
    Because I stoop,
    And my branches droop,
And the dull gray mosses over me grow!
But I&#8217;m still alive in trunk and shoot;
    The buds [...]]]></description>

		<title>Thomas Hood &#8211; I REMEMBER, I REMEMBER POEM</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I remember, I remember,
  The house where I was born,
The little window where the sun
  Came peeping in at morn;
He never came a wink too soon,
  Nor brought too long a day;
But now, I often wish the night
  Had borne my breath away.
I remember, I remember,
  The roses, red and [...]]]></description>

		<title>Henry van Dyke &#8211; THE SONG SPARROW POEM</title>
		<description><![CDATA[There is a bird I know so well,
  It seems as if he must have sung
  Beside my crib when I was young;
Before I knew the way to spell
  The name of even the smallest bird,
  His gentle, joyful song I heard.
Now see if you can tell, my dear,
What bird it [...]]]></description>

		<title>John G. Whittier &#8211; RED RIDING-HOOD POEM</title>
		<description><![CDATA[On the wide lawn the snow lay deep,
Ridged o&#8217;er with many a drifted heap;
The wind that through the pine-trees sung
The naked elm-boughs tossed and swung;
While, through the window, frosty-starred,
Against the sunset purple barred,
We saw the sombre crow flap by,
The hawk&#8217;s gray fleck along the sky,
The crested blue-jay flitting swift,
The squirrel poising on the drift,
Erect, alert, [...]]]></description>

		<title>Margaret Vandegrift &#8211; THE SANDMAN POEM</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The rosy clouds float overhead,
  The sun is going down,
And now the sandman&#8217;s gentle tread
  Comes stealing through the town.
    &#8220;White sand, white sand,&#8221; he softly cries,
      And, as he shakes his hand,
    Straightway there lies on babies&#8217; eyes
    [...]]]></description>

		<title>Phillips Brooks &#8211; O LITTLE TOWN OF BETHLEHEM POEM</title>
		<description><![CDATA[O little town of Bethlehem,
  How still we see thee lie!
Above thy deep and dreamless sleep
  The silent stars go by;
Yet in thy dark streets shineth
  The everlasting Light;
The hopes and fears of all the years
  Are met in thee to-night.
For Christ is born of Mary,
  And, gathered all above,
While [...]]]></description>

		<title>Celia Thaxter &#8211; THE SANDPIPER POEM</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Across the narrow beach we flit,
  One little sandpiper and I;
And fast I gather, bit by bit,
  The scattered driftwood bleached and dry.
The wild waves reach their hands for it,
  The wild wind raves, the tide runs high,
As up and down the beach we flit,
  One little sandpiper and I.
Above our [...]]]></description>

		<title>Celia Thaxter &#8211; SPRING POEM</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The alder by the river
  Shakes out her powdery curls;
The willow buds in silver
  For little boys and girls.
The little birds fly over
  And oh, how sweet they sing!
To tell the happy children
  That once again &#8217;tis spring.
The gay green grass comes creeping
  So soft beneath their feet;
The frogs begin [...]]]></description>

		<title>F.C. Woodworth &#8211; THE SNOW-BIRD&#8217;S SONG POEM</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The ground was all covered with snow one day,
And two little sisters were busy at play,
When a snow-bird was sitting close by on a tree,
And merrily singing his chick-a-dee-dee,
       Chick-a-dee-dee, chick-a-dee-dee,
And merrily singing his chick-a-dee-dee.
He had not been singing that tune very long,
Ere Emily heard him, so loud was [...]]]></description>
