One day the wind blew through the town, and oh, how merry it was! It whistled down the chimneys, and scampered round the corners, and sang in the tree tops. "Come and dance, come and dance, come and dance with me," that is what it seemed to say.

The humblest workman has his place, Which no one else can fill.

Wherever I fly from my own dear nest, I always come back, for home is the best.

Keep thou an open door between thy child's life and thine own.

Wisdom comes with all we see, God writes His lessons in each flower, And ev'ry singing bird or bee Can teach us something of His power.

Strength and skill are happy comrades.
