Show THE TOADSTOOL, THE FAIRY'S UMBRELLA. The wet Kast Wind had called to the Rain, "Come down, little drops, to the April flowers," And over the grass, and the sleeping grain. And into the street they swept in showers. They tapped at each door, and called. "Come up. For the bleak cold wind and the snow are gone; Arbutus is lifting her perfumed cup. And the grass is carpeting all the lawn." But the fairies that lived in the quiet wood. All wore their new spring bonnets that day. So they raised their umbrellas as quick as they could, And under the trees went tionping away. N And the people said, when they paw them there, The fairy umbrellas out in the rain, "Oh. spring has come, so swept and so fair. For there are tho?e odd little toadstools again." |
