 \n[Pg 4]  \nMary Mary Hans Hans  \n## A THOUGHT\n\nIt is very nice to thinkThe world is full of meat and drink,With little children saying graceIn every Christian kind of place.Biddy Biddy Fifine Fifine  \n[Pg 5]  \n## BED IN SUMMER BED IN SUMMER\n\n[Pg 6]  \nA CHILD’S GARDEN OF VERSES  \nAT THE SEA-SIDE  \nWhen I was down beside the seaA wooden spade they gave to me  \nTo dig the sandy shore.My holes were empty like a cup.In every hole the sea came up,Till it could come no more.  \n[Pg 7]  \n## YOUNG NIGHT-THOUGHT\n\nAll night long and every night,  \nWhen my mama puts out the light,  \nI see the people marching by,  \nAs plain as day,before my eye.  \nArmies and emperors and kings,  \nAll carrying different kinds of things,  \nAnd marching in so grand a way,You never saw the like by day.So fine a show was never seenAt the great circus on the green;For every kind of beast and manIs marching in that caravan.At first they move a little slow,But still the faster on they go,And still beside them close I keepUntil we reach the town of Sleep.  \nROBERT LOUIS STEVENSON  \n## WHOLE DUTY OF CHILDREN\n\nA child should always say what's trueAnd speak when he is spoken to,And behave mannerly at table;At least as far as he is able.  \n## RAIN\n\nThe rain is raining all around,It falls on field and tree,It rains on the umbrellas here,And on the ships at sea.  \n[Pg 9]  \n## PIRATE STORY\n\nThree of us afloat in the meadow by the swing,  \nThree of us aboard in the basket on the lea.  \nWinds are in the air,they are blowing in the spring,And waves are on the meadow like the waves there are at sea.  \nWhere shall we adventure,to-day that we're afloat,  \nWary of the weather and steering by a star?  \nShall it be to Africa,a-steering of the boat,  \nTo Providence,or Babylon,or off to Malabar?  \nHi!but here's a squadron a-rowing on the sea—  \nCattle on the meadow a-charging with a roar!  \nQuick,and we'll escape them,they're as mad as they can be,  \nThe wicket is the harbour and the garden is the shore.  \nA CHILD'S GARDEN OF VERSES  \nFOREIGN LANDS  \nUp into the cherry tree  \nWho should climb but little me?I held the trunk with both my handsAnd looked abroad on foreign lands.  \nI saw the next door garden lie,Adorned with flowers,before my eye,  \nAnd many pleasant places more  \nThat I had never seen before.  \nI saw the dimpling river pass  \nAnd be the sky's blue looking-glass;  \nThe dusty roads go up and downWith people tramping in to town.  \nIf I could find a higher treeFarther and farther I should see,To where the grown-up river slipsInto the sea among the ships,To where the roads on either handLead onward into fairy land,Where all the children dine at five,And all the playthings come alive.  \n## WINDY NIGHTS\n\nWhenever the moon and stars are set,  \nWhenever the wind is high,  \nAll night long in the dark and wet,  \nA man goes riding by.  \nLate in the night when the fires are out,Why does he gallop and gallop about?  \nROBERT LOUIS STEVENSON  \nWhenever the trees are crying aloud,  \nAnd ships are tossed at sea,  \nBy,on the highway,low and loud,  \nBy at the gallop goes he.  \nBy at the gallop he goes,and thenBy he comes back at the gallop again.  \nFOREIGN LANDS FOREIGN LANDS  \n[Pg 11]  \n## TRAVEL\n\nI should like to rise and go  \nWhere the golden apples grow;—  \nWhere below another sky  \nParrot islands anchored lie,  \nAnd,watched by cockatoos and goats, ","cbCaiv0TllvarLFf","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaiv0TllvarLFf","pdf",2171665,"English","# BED IN SUMMER\n# A THOUGHT\n# BED IN SUMMER\n# YOUNG NIGHT-THOUGHT\n# WHOLE DUTY OF CHILDREN\n# RAIN\n# PIRATE STORY\n# FOREIGN LANDS\n## TRAVEL\n# WINDY NIGHTS\n# LOOKING FORWARD\n# A GOOD PLAY","[{\"question\":\"What is “Bed in Summer” about?\",\"answer\":\"It contrasts winter nighttime waking and dressing with summer days when bedtime comes too early.
