For you never shut your eye
Till the sun is in the sky.

As your bright and tiny spark
Lights the traveler in the dark,
Though I know not what you are,
Twinkle, twinkle, little star.

THE BUSY BEE.

How doth the little busy bee
Improve each shining hour,
And gather honey all the day
From every opening flower!

How skilfully she builds her cell,
How neatly spreads her wax,

And labors hard to store it well

With the sweet food she makes!

In works of labor or of skill

I would be busy too;

For Satan finds some mischief still

For idle hands to do.

In books or work or healthful play
Let my first years be passed,
That I may give for every day
Some good account at last.

HYMN OF A CHILD.

Loving Jesus, meek and mild,
Look upon a little child;
Make me gentle as thou art,
Come and live within my heart.

Take my childish hand in thine,
Guide these little feet of mine;
So shall all my happy days
Sing their pleasant song of praise,
And the world shall always see
Christ, the holy Child, in me.

Who gives us all the good things that we have? To whom, then, ought we to give thanks?

SONG OF SUMMER.

Up in the tree-top, down in the ground,
High in the blue sky, far, all around,-
Near by and everywhere creatures are living,
God in his bounty something is giving.

Up in the tree-top, down in the ground,
High in the blue sky, far, all around,—
Near by and everywhere creatures are striving;
Labor is surely the price of their thriving.

Up in the tree-top, down in the ground,
High in the blue sky, far, all around,-
Near by and everywhere singing and humming,
Busily, joyfully, summer is coming.
