Classic Poem

" Come! " cried Helen, eager Helen.
" Time enough , " said careful Ann.
But oh, the lilac-buds were swelling
And all the birds had started telling —
" Listen! look! " cried eager Helen,
Pointing where the spring began.
" Well, and what of that, " said Ann.
" Something's happening — oh, let's go! "
" When it happens we shall know. "
" Ah, but that's so slow! " cried Helen,
" Come on, come! " cried eager Helen.
" Time enough, " said Ann.
" I must go! " " And I will wait .
You'll be too soon . " " You'll be too late! "
" Who knows? " said Ann. " Come on! " cried Helen,
And ran and ran and ran.
