AN CDRIENTAL GARDEN In an orienTal garden, By an orienTal sTrearn, Where The lazy weeping willow Makes a Japanese Dream. Where a liTTIe wooden bridge spans Placid waTer so blue, And The moon is reTlecTed, Making our dream come True. Where The lanTerns are swinging In many-colored array, And The goIdTish are playing, Begging us To sTay. Where The LOTUS is blooming, Over grasses so green, ln an orienTaI garden, By an orienTaI sTream. -Eigh+h Grade. TI-IE NORTI-I WIND The NorTh Wind pushes us back when we play. I-le painTs our ears. I-le painTs our noses, T-Ie painTs our cheeks, And makes Them cold. Whoo-whoo, he roars and blows. -I3irsT Grade. ELSAI-I The heavenly hills oT Elsah, And The beauTiTuI Trees Thereoli. When The sunrise has awakened, The river is aglow wiTh a golden paThway Where The railways go. -Third Grade VIOLETS The vioIeTs are hiding in The grass. S d d so purple. O eep an -I:irsT Grade BUILDING A SKYSCRAPER Brrr, brrr. brrrI Grind The drills. Crack, crack, goes The bed rock. The ToundaTion men are working. Bong, bong, bong!

I-lere sTands a skyscraper Tall and new. -Second Grade
