PART IV

A MAN OF WORDS

A man of words and not of deeds

Is like a garden full of weeds;

And when the weeds begin to grow,

It’s like a garden full of snow;

And when the snow begins to fall,

It’s like a bird upon the wall;

And when the bird away does fly,

It’s like an eagle in the sky.

And when the sky begins to roar,

It’s like a lion at the door;

And when the door begins to crack,

It’s like a stick across your back;

And when your back begins to smart,

It’s like a penknife in your heart;

And when your heart begins to bleed,

You are dead, and dead, and dead indeed.

THE MONTHS OF THE YEAR

January brings the snow,

Makes the toes and fingers glow.

February brings the rain,

Thaws the frozen ponds again.

March brings breezes loud and shrill,

Stirs and dancing daffodils.

April brings primrose sweet ,

Scatters daisies at our feet

May brings flocks of pretty lambs,

Skipping by their fluky dams.

June brings tulips, lilies, roses,

Fills the children’s hands with posies.

Hot July brings cooling showers,

Strawberries and gilly-flowers.

August brings the sheaves of corn,

Then the harvest home is borne.

Warm September brings the fruit,

Sportsmen then begin to shoot.

Fresh October brings the pheasant,

Then to gather nuts is pleasant.

Dull November brings the blast,

Then the leaves are falling fast

Chill December brings the sleet,

Blazing fire and New-Year treat. Sara Coleridge

NIGHT

The sun descending in the west,

The evening star does shine,

The birds are silent in their nest,

And I must seek for mine;

The moon like a flower,

In Heaven’s high bower,

With silent delight

Sits and smiles on the night.

GIFTS

Give a man a horse he can ride,

Give a man a boat he can sail;

And his rank and wealth, his strength and health,

On sea nor shore shall fail.

Give a man a pipe he can smoke,

Give a man a book he can read;

And his home is bright with a calm delight,

Though the room be poor indeed.

Give a man a girl he can love,

As I, O my love, love thee;

And his heart is great with the pulse of Fate

At home, on land, on sea.

James Thomson
