Rossetti, Christina Georgina, 1830-1894, Hughes, Arthur, 1832-1915, ill · London : Macmillan · leaf 148
If the sun could tell us half That he hears and sees,Sometimes he would make us laugh, Sometimes make us cry :Think of all the birds that make Homes among the trees ;Think of cruel boys who takeBirds that cannot fly. 126 … If the moon came from heaven, Talking all the way,What could she have to tell us, And what could she say ? Ive seen a hundred pretty things,And seen a hundred gay ; But only think : I peep by nightAnd do not peep by day ! 127
