THE FIRST DAY.

This is the first day of school, and I came early.

I am not the first one here, for I see Mary and Rose and Donald and Harold.

Where is Stella?

She has not returned home from her grandmother's, but will come back soon.

We have had a good time all summer, playing like the birds, grasshoppers and butterflies.

Are we not glad that school has begun again?

all the snow,

And the sheep will scamper into the fold,

When the North begins to blow.

Which is the wind that brings the heat?

The South wind, Katy, and corn

will grow,

And peaches redden for you to eat,

When the South begins to blow.
