UNDER BLUE SKIES.
(Frontispiece)

Under blue skies

Daffodils dance, and the Oriole flies,

Bright, golden butterflies float on the breeze

Over the clover with brown honey-bees;

Daisies and buttercups, slender and tall,

Nod to the roses that cover the wall,

Under blue skies.

Under blue skies,

Every day brings us a sweeter surprise,

Blooming of flowers and singing of birds,

Words without song, and song without words;

A world of bright children, all happy and gay,

In sunshine and shadow, at work and at play.
