And Nature, the old nurse, took
The child upon her knee,
Saying; "Here is a story-book
Thy Father has written for thee."
Come out of doors with paint-box and brush!
Come to a clear little pool in a meadow!
The world is dressed in blue, yellow and green.
The green in the distant trees looks blue-green; but the color of the meadow is yellow-green.
The pool is the color of the sky.
Paint the picture and choose a name for it.
