PICTURE LAND.
To me a. book is like a gate:
You open it. and right away,
“’ithout a. step. without a wait,
This very hour, this very day,
You travel Just a. second and
You're in the heart of Picture Land.
And Picture Land has trees and
towers. ,»
And airy castles. fairy queens:
In winter still it blooms with flowers
And running brooks and lovely
genes.
Outside it may be dark and gray. .
But Picture Land is bright and gay.
There old folks never older grow:
The merry king the dancing dame
Not changed a bit from long ago:
And children always stay the
sums.
Yes. l-hlldren always are the age
They are upon a certain page.
Its nice we have a Picture Land,
Another land inside 0! books.
Another place so near at hand
“‘here ev'rything so lovely looks.
B’ecause the vii-y oldest then.
\Vhen once inside, are young again.
And sometimes when I'm whimper-
ing
(You know how children are some-
times).
My mother says “You‘d better bring
That book of pictures and of
rhymes."
Then close beside her chair I stand
And we are off to Picture Land.
OUR FATHER
Our Father in the big blue sky.
“'hose footstool is a. star
And robe the clouds a—i‘loating by.
He never seems so far—
Because I see so many thir's
So many times that heaven bring-L
To bless the little children here
That make our Father seem so near.
The food we eat. the clothes we
wear.
Our house. our little bed,
The velvet grass. the garden fair,
The green trees overhead—-
So many things to make us glad
Right here at home we've always
had,
So many things right here I've
found,
Our Father seems—why, all around.
Before I take my fork and spoon,
Yes. even when I play
At having tea some afternoon,
I how my head and say—
"Our Father. for Thy loving cure.
For things to eat and things to wear,
The folks on earth give thsnks to

And little folks especially."
