Delightfulness of Children,

     I am fond of children. I think them the poetry of the world, the fresh flowers of our hearths and homes; little conjurers, with their "natural magic," evoking by their spells what delights and enriches all ranks, and equalizes the different classes of society. Often as they bring with them anxieties and cares, and live to occasion sorrow and grief, we should get on very badly without them. Only think, if there was never anything anywhere to be seen, but great grown-up men and women! How we should long for the sight of a little child ! Every infant comes into the world like a delegated prophet, the harbinger and herald of good tidings, whose office it is "to turn the hearts of the fathers to he children," and to draw " the disobedient to the wisdom of the just." A child softens and purifies the heart, warming and melting it by its gentle presence; it enriches the soul by new feelings, and awakens within it what is favorable to virtue. It is a beam of light, a fountain of love, a teacher whose lessons few can resist. Infants’ recall us from much that engenders and encourages selfishness, that freezes the affections, roughens the manners, indurate’s the heart: they brighten the home, deepen love, invigorate exertion, infuse courage, and vivify and sustain the charities of life. It would be a terrible world, I do think, if it was not embellished by little children ! — Binney. 249 CWPM Fluency Passages

A Night With a Wolf

Little one come to my knee!

   Hark how the rain is pouring

Over the roof in the pitch dark night,

   And the winds in the woods a-roaring

Hush, my darling, and listen,

   Then pay for the story with kisses;

Father was lost in the pitch-black night

   In just such a storm as this is.

High on the lonely mountain

   Where the wild men watched and waited;

Wolves in the forest, and bears in the bush,

   And I on my path belated.

The rain and the night together

   Came down, and the wind came after,

Bending the props of the pine tree roof

   And snapping many a rafter.

I crept along in the darkness,

   Stunned and bruised and blinded...

Crept to a fir with thick-set boughs,

   And a sheltering rock behind it.

There, from the blowing and raining,

   Crouching I sought to hide me;

Something rustled, two green eyes shone,

   And a wolf lay down beside me.

Little one, be not frightened;

   I and the wolf together,

Side be side through the long, long night,

   Hid from the awful weather.

His wet fur pressed against me;

   Each of us warmed the other;

Each of us felt in the stormy dark

   That beast and man was brother.

And when the falling forest

   No longer crashed in warning,

Each of us went from our hiding place

   Forth in the wild wet morning.

Darling, kiss me in payment...

   Hark! how the wind is roaring!

Father's house is a better place

   When the stormy rain is pouring.

Bayard Taylor

The Hermit

Now the quietude of earth

Nestles deep my heart within;

Friendships new and strange have birth

Since I left the city's din.

Here the tempest stays its guile,

Like a big kind brother plays,

Romps and pauses here awhile

From its immemorial ways.

Now the silver light of dawn

Slipping through the leaves that fleck

My one window, hurries on,

Throws its arms around my neck.

Darkness to my doorway hies,

Lays her chin upon the roof,

And her burning seraph eyes

Now no longer keep aloof.

And the ancient mystery

Holds its hands out day by day,

Takes a chair and croons with me

By my cabin built of clay.

When the dusky shadow flits,

By the chimney nook I see

Where the old enchanter sits,

Smiles and waves and beckons me.

George William Russell 

Stanzas

OH, weep not, love! each tear that springs

In those dear eyes of thine,

To me a keener suffering brings

Than if they flowed from mine.

And do not droop! however drear

The fate awaiting thee;

For MY sake combat pain and care,

And cherish life for me!

I do not fear thy love will fail;

Thy faith is true, I know;

But, oh, my love! thy strength is frail

For such a life of woe.

Were 't not for this, I well could trace

(Though banished long from thee)

Life's rugged path, and boldly face

The storms that threaten me.

Fear not for me--I've steeled my mind

Sorrow and strife to greet;

Joy with my love I leave behind,

Care with my friends I meet.

A mother's sad reproachful eye,

A father's scowling brow--

But he may frown and she may sigh:

I will not break my vow!

I love my mother, I revere

My sire, but fear not me--

Believe that Death alone can tear

This faithful heart from thee.

Anne Bronte
