A SUNBEAM’S ERRANDS
A little Sunbeam in the sky Said to himself one day: “I’m very small, but why should I Do nothing else but play? I’ll go down to the earth and see If there is any use for me.” The violet beds were wet with dew, Which filled each heavy cup: The little sunbeam darted through And raised their blue heads up. They smiled to see it, and they lent The morning breeze their sweetest scent. A mother ’neath a shady tree Had left her babe asleep; It woke and cried, but when it spied The little sunbeam peep So shyly in, with glance so bright. It laughed and chuckled with delight. —Sent in by Ronald Olsen.
