Songs of Childhood

Songs of Childhood is a collection of songs for children. Excerpt: «As I lay awake in the white moonlight, I heard a sweet singing in the wood–'Out of bed, Sleepyhead, Put your white foot now, Here are we, 'Neath the tree, Singing round the root now!' I looked out of a window in the white moonlight, The trees were like snow in the wood— 'Come away Child and play, Light wi' the gnomes; In a mound, Green and round, That's where their home is!»
