Child’s Song in Spring
The silver birch is a dainty lady,She wears a satin gown;The elm tree make the old churchyard shady,She will not live in town.
The English oak is a sturdy fellow,He gets his green coat late;The willow is a smart suit of yellow,While brown the beech trees wait.
E. Nesbit

The Eagle
He clasps the crag with crooked hands;
Close to the sun in lonely lands,
Ring’d with the azure world, he stands.
The wrinkled sea beneath him crawls;
He watches from his mountain walls,
And like a thunderbolt he falls.
Lord Alfred Tennyson
