It wouldnt grow on, I fear, Because it looked stiff and cold;But Christmas will soon be here,And not half the dolls are sold.If it was the doll that came to grief,Haste, Santa Claus, for a childs relief! LAVINIA S. GOODWIN. … SUMMER. The lake in the woods, And the lovely wild flowers, The musical breeze, And the cool shady bowers, Have used up the long summerday. The little ones then Rejoice in a restBeneath the old trees, The sun in the west,The sheep their companions atplay. MARY BLOOM.
