Classic Poem

QUEEN

SUMMER or Winter or Spring or Fall, —
Which do you like the best of all?

LITTLE JASPER

When I'm dressed warm as warm can be,
And with boots, to go
Through the deepest snow,
Winter-time is the time for me!

QUEEN

Summer or Winter or Spring or Fall, —
Which do you like the best of all?

LITTLE MILDRED

I like blossoms, and birds that sing;
The grass and the dew,
And the sunshine, too, —
So, best of all I like the Spring.

QUEEN

Summer or Winter or Spring or Fall, —
Which do you like the best of all?

LITTLE MANDEVILLE

O little friends, I most rejoice
When I hear the drums
As the Circus comes, —
So Summer-time's my special choice.

QUEEN

Summer or Winter or Spring or Fall, —
Which do you like the best of all?

LITTLE EDITH

Apples of ruby, and pears of gold,
And grapes of blue
That the bee stings through. —
Fall — it is all that my heart can hold!

QUEEN

Soh! my lovelings and pretty dears,
You've each a favorite, it appears, —
Summer and Winter and Spring and Fall.
That's the reason I send them all!
