Evaleen Stein Poems

I heard a song at daybreak,
So honey-sweet and clear,
...

'Peep! Peep! Peep! ' Poor little chick!
Little cry so weak and small,
...

Grandfather says of all things
The silliest he's heard
Is that some children call things
...

When you see upon the walk
Circles newly made of chalk,
And around them all the day
...

When pink-cheeked on every hand
Little girls are seen to stand
Turning skipping ropes,- swish-swash!-
...

Hey-a-day-a-day, my dear! Dandelion time!
Come, and let us make for them a pretty little rhyme!
...

Let us take our baskets early
To the meadows green,
While the wild-flowers still are pearly
...

Once I was a little page
To a May-day queen,
And I wore a little coat
...

Tinkle, tinkle,
Lightly fall
On the peach buds, pink and small;
Tip the tiny grass, and twinkle
...

The April rain-drops tinkle
In cuckoo-cups of gold,
And warm south winds unwrinkle
...
