Slumber little friend so wee,

Joy thy joy is bringing.

Bellman

MARCH TWENTY-SIXTH

Thou straggler into loving arms,

Young climber up of knees,

When I forget thy thousand ways

Then life and all shall cease.

Charles Lamb

MARCH TWENTY-SEVENTH

Where children are not, heaven is not, and heaven,

If they come not again, shall be never!

But the face and the voice of a child are assurances

of heaven and its promises forever.

Swinburne

MARCH TWENTY-EIGHTH

O blessed vision! Happy child!

Thou art so exquisitely wild,

I think of thee with many fears

For what may be thy lot in future years.

Wordsworth

MARCH TWENTY-NINTH

And with heaven in their hearts and their faces,

Up rose the children all.

Longfellow

MARCH THIRTIETH
