Ralph Sullens A Message of Spring It was snowing, the clouds were gray, When I looked out the window, one winter day. I saw a robin with breast so red, I could hardly believe my eyes, As on his limb, he swung to and fro. He seemed to- say, I don't mind the snow. I knew it would be spring before long, The flowers would bloom, And the skies would turn blue Everyone will be happy for spring--won't you' Ralph Sullens 1947 This is the year of 1947 lt's the best year we've had, I'm ten and going on eleven, And boy am I ever glad: Ralph Sullens 8: 30 Straight Every night when the clock strikes eight And my Mother says. it's very late. I drop my book and get ready for bed. Get my pillow and lay down my head. Ralph Sullens
