Dodge, Mary Mapes, 1830-1905 · [New York : Scribner & Co.] · leaf 242
tired bird,Steals softly on the evening air, and dies ; While far away the whispering trees are heardSinging the evening song learned from the skies. The little house stands in the soft gray light,And seems to call and beckon oer and oer ; Waiting in patience through the long dark nightFor some one… … THE YOUTH OF GROWING THINGS. BY LEONARD A. STRAUS AGE 15. (SILVER BADGE.) And as the evening shadows longer grow,And darkness gathers all beneath -her wing, A peaceful rest comes to the world below.And silence falls, like dew, oer everything. AN IMPORTANT MOMENT IN MY LIFE BY DORIS KNIGHT (AGE 13)…
