Below we give you a few of the
several poems written by eleven-
vear-old Edith Marie Ferguson:
SABBATH MORNING
The air is clean and filled with
fragrance,
The bells ring out their merriest
I song,
I The -sun is shining on the quiet
town,
I The river runs merrily along.
The river runs swiftly through the
quiet dells.
In the church towers ring the bells.
The clouds are floating around in
the skies,
Quietness over the village lies.
MOTHER NATURE
.Mother nature is very kind.
She gives us everything,
All the trees and flowers,
.And all the birds that sing.
The rivers and the pretty falls,
The gentle rain and sun.
Everything that nature gives,
Makes us have more fun.
I cannot tell it all right here,
But Mother Nature is a dear.
To give, us everything we need.
In other books you shall read.
