Children’s Verse
THE SPIDER The spider weaves his silver wire, Between the cherry and the briar, Well fastened on each hawser—heard, And then within his wheel he does, Hung on a thorny stem of rose, While fairies ride the silver ferry Between the rose-bud and the cherry. —From Gloria Ridgway. SCHOOL’S OUT Girls scream, Boys shout; Dogs bark, School’s out. Cats run; Horses shy; Into trees Birds fly. Babes wake. Open-eyed: If they can. Tramps hide. Old men Hobble home; Merry mites, Welcome.
