S0 GS fmym LULLABY By MIRIAM DECLAIVE Never dread fo go +o bed For you'll Find a magic band, A chocolafe mouse and a candy house In Fairyland. There's lhe funniesf cal +ha+ wears a high ha+, And lhe delicacies are grand, Sugar plum fairies, and succulenl' berries ln Fairyland. You may in your sleep find LiH'le Bo Peep And fhere on +he edge of +he s+rand LiHle Jack Horner who sal' in +he corner ln Fairyland. Too soon +here's a shake up and you have +o wake And mo+her will lake your hand, So close your eyes +igh+g make +he mosl of lonighl In Fairyland. CANVAS MY PARROT By CONNIE PERRY You sii' 1'here proudly looking down Wi'rh colors brighi' and gay, A scarlel breasl' and yellow wings, A beak of iron grey. l've wafched you sil' lhere every d And wondered when you'd falk, Bui' noi a whis'rle came from you Or even a finy squawk. Bu'r never could a noisy bird Take your place. You see I love you, china parroi, Who sfares so endlessly. By JOSEPHINE BONAVENTU RA Above +he breafhy, roaring sea Towers l'he firm, unconquerable cliff, Molded like fhe living profile of a human face. The spray foams in livid whifeg Sea winds shriek in wi+ch's fury, Gray-green shadows +hrus'r fhemselves on The sky To blacken soon wifh nigh+'s coming. The sfrong insisfence of fhe greedy waves Biies sfubbornly in1'o The jagged rock.
