Poems by Eugene Field
The doll's wooing
... Were these plaintive words (which perhaps you have guessed): ...
The dreams
... To the springtime everywhere!Was it the dew the dream had brought ...
The drum
... For boys with a little red drum!The Injuns came last night ...
The duel
... What the old Dutch clock declares is true!)The Chinese plate looked very blue, ...
The fly-away horse
... Perhaps, while you slept, his shadow has sweptThrough the moonlight that floats on the floor ...
The great journalist in spain
... The fragrance of sunflowers shall swoon on the air ...
The happy household
... And I, of course, laugh, too!But once - a likely spell ago - when that poor little chick ...
The humming top
... Will ever his heart feel faint and cold, ...
The jaffa and jerusalem railway
... Else, trusting in their specious arts, you may have reason to condemn ...
The limitations of youth
... If I darst; but I darsen't!And, if I darst, I'd lick my pa for the times that he's licked me! ...
The Little Peach
... Too true!Under the turf where the daisies grew ...
The Lyttel Boy
... And sometime, when He looked on earth ...
The night wind
... 'T is the voice of the night that broods outside ...
The peter-bird
... tch brewing her damnable porridge!Lo, when he vanished from sight, knowing the evil that threatened, ...
The ride to bumpville
... When one is en route to Bumpville!She's scared of the cars when the engine goes "Toot!" ...
