And looking at the shops she was, the pretty silks and

She seemed to think that Oxford Street was quite a
lovely place.
But I could only stare and stare oh, would she under-
stand?
And down into the street she looked and up into the
sky;
And perching on the railing on a tiny fairy toe,

But oh, my dears, just think of it, just think what luck
for me,
That she should corne to Oxford Street, and I he there

THE GROUSE
THE grouse that lives on the moorland wide
Is filled with a most ridiculous pride;
He thinks that it all belongs to him
And every one else must obey his whim.
When the queer wee folk who live on the moors
Come joyfully leaping out of their doors
To frisk about on the warm sweet heather
Laughing and chattering all together,
He looks askance at their rollicking play
And calls to them in the angriest way:
"You're a feather-brained, foolish, frivolous pack,
Go back, you rascally imps, go back!"

THE SKYLARK
OF all the birds the fairies love the skylark much the
best;
They come with little fairy gifts to seek his hidden
nest;
They praise his tiny slender feet and silken suit of
brown,
And with their gentle hands they smooth his feathers
softly down.

Waiting the moment that shall bring the freedom of
the skies;
Waiting the double-sweet delight that only he can
give,
(Oh, kings might surely spurn their crowns to live as
fairies live}.

To float upon the edge of heaven and listen while he
sings
The dreams of mortals scarce can touch so perfected
a bliss,
And even fairies cannot know a greater joy than this.
