the willow man by juliana horatia gaddy ewing read for librivox.org by betty b willow man there once was a willow and he was very old and all his leaves fell off from him and left him in the cold but air the rude winter could buffet him with snow there grew upon his horry head a crop of mistletoe all wrinkled and furrowed was this old willow's skin his taper fingers trembled and his arms were very thin two round eyes and hollow that stared but did not see and sprawling feet that never walked had this most ancient tree a dame who dwelt near was the only one who knew that every year upon his head the christmas berries grew and when the dame cut them she said it was her whim a merry christmas to you sir and left a bit for him o granny dear tell us the children cried where we may find the shining mistletoe that grows upon the tree at length the dame told them but caution them to mind to greet the willow civilly and leave a bit behind who cares said the children for this old willow man we'll take the mistletoe and he may catch us if he can with rage the ancient willow shakes in every limb for they have taken all and have not left a bit for him then bright gleamed the holly the christmas berries shone but in the wintry wind without the willow man did moan ungrateful and wasteful the mystic mistletoe a hundred years hath grown on me but never more shall grow a year soon passed by and the children came once more but not a sprig of mistletoe the aged willow bore each slender spray pointed he mocked them in his glee and chuckled in his wooden heart that ancient willow tree moral o children who gather the spoils of wood and mold from selfish greed and willful waste your little hands withhold though fair things be common this moral bear in mind pick thankfully and modestly and leave a bit behind end of poem this recording is in the public domain

master fritz by juliana horatia gaddy ewing read for librivox.org by betty b master fritz fritz and i are not brother and sister but we're next door neighbors for we both live next door i mean we both live next door to each other for i live at number three and fritz and nicole the dog live at number four in summer we climb through the garret windows and sit together on the leads and if the sun is too hot mother lends us one big kerchief to put over both our heads sometimes she gives us tea under the myrtle tree in the big pot that stands in the gutter one slice each and i always give fritz the one that has the most butter in winter we sit on the little stool by the stove at number four for when it's cold fritz doesn't like to go out to come in next door it was one day in spring that he said i should like to have a house to myself with you gretel and nickel and i said thank you fritz and he said if you'll come in at tea time and sit by the stove i'll tell you tales that'll frighten you into fits about boys who ran away from their homes and were taken by robbers and run after by wolves and all together in a dreadful state i saw the pictures of it in a book i was looking in to see where perhaps i should like to emigrate i've not quite settled whether i shell or be cast away on a desert island or settle down near a home but you'd better come in and hear about it and then wherever it is you'll be sure to be ready to come so i took my darling katarina in my arms and we went in to tea i love katarina though she lost her head long ago poor thing but fritz made me put her off my knee for he said when you're hush-a-buying that silly old doll i know you're not attending to me now look here grethel i think i have made up my mind that we won't go far for we can have a house and i can be master of it just as well where we are under the stairs would be a good place for a house for us if there's room it's very dirty but you're the housewife now and you must sweep it out well with the broom i shall expect you to keep my house very comfortable and have my meals ready when there's anything to eat and when nicole and i come back from playing outside you may peep out and pretend you're watching for us coming up the street you've kept your apple i see i've eaten mine well it will be something to make a start and i'll put buy some of my cake if you'll keep some of yours and remember nickel must have part i call it your cake and your apple but of course now you're my housewife everything belongs to me but i shall give you the management of it and you must make it go as far as you can amongst three and if you make nice feasts every day for me and nickel and never keep us waiting for our food and always do everything i want and attend to everything i say i'm sure i shall almost always be good and if i am naughty now and then it will most likely be your fault and if it isn't you mustn't mind for even if i seem to be cross you ought to know that i mean to be kind and i'm sure you'll like combing nickel's hair for my sake it'll be something for you to do and it bothers me so but it must be done regularly for if it's not his curls tangle into lugs as they grow i think that's all dear gretel for i love you so much that i'm sure to be easy to please only remember it's a trifle but when i want you never keep that headless doll on your knees i'd much rather not have her in my house there don't cry if you will have her i suppose it must be though i can't think of what you want with katarina when you've got nickel and me so i said thank you dear fritz for letting me bring her for i've had her so long i shouldn't like to part with her now and i'll try and do everything you want as well as i can now you've told me how the next morning i heard fritz's garrett window open and he put out his head and shouted grethel grethel i want you be quick...

the dolls was by juliana horatia getty ewing read for librifox.org

the doll's wash sally is the laundress and every saturday she sends our clean clothes up from the walls and nurse puts them away sometimes ellie is very kind but sometimes he's as crossed as a turk once is good tomorrow we like to go and watch her at work she has tubs and a copper in the wash house and a great big fire and plenty of soap and outside is the trying ground with tall posts and pegs boat from the gypsies and long lines of rope the laundry is indoors with another big fire and long tables and a lot of irons and a crimping machine and horses not leave ones with tails but clothes horses and the same starch that is used by the queen shelley wears patterns in the west halls and turns up her sleeves and splashes and rubs and makes beautiful white leather which foams over the tops of the tops like waves at the seaside testing against the rocks only not so strong if i were sadly i should sit and blow soap bubbles all the day long sally is angry sometimes because of the way we dirty our frogs making mud pies and rolling down the lawn and climbing trees and scrambling offered rocks since i we do it on purpose and never try to take care but if things have got to go to the walls what can it matter how dirty they are last week mary and i got a lot of king cups from the book and i carried them home in my skirt it was the end of the week and our frogs were done so we didn't mind about the dirt but sally was as cross as two sticks and won't wash our doll's clothes anymore so she said but never mind four we will ask mama if we might have a real dose was overrun instead momma says we may own one condition to which we agree we are to really wash the door's clothes and make them just what clean clothes should be since is we must watch them truly which of course we intend to do women to rub ring dry mangle starch iron and air them too a regular words must be splendid fun and everybody knows that anyone in the world can wash out a few dirty clothes well we've had the doll's walls but it's only pretty good fun we're glad we've had it you know but we're glad still that it's done as we wanted to have a big awash as we cooked we collected everything we could master from the dole's bed limited hangings to victoria's dress which i used as a duster it was going to the walls and mary and i were host mates fancy housemate i mean and i took it to dusk the book self for i know it would come back clean well we was in the wash hand basin which holds a good deal as the things are small we made a glorious latherance plus half over the floor but the clothes weren't white after all however we hung them out in our drawing ground in the garden which we made with dahlia stick and long strings and then dars went and knocked over one of the posts and down in the dirt when our things so he washed them again and hung them on the towel horse and most of them came alright but victoria's muslim dress though i rinse it again and again we'll never try white and the grey spots on mary dole's dress doesn't seem to come out and we can't think how they got there unless it was when we made the massacre oil because he has real hair i knew mine was going to the walls but i'm sorry i use it as a duster before it won we think dirty clothes perhaps wouldn't be too dirty before they are sent we had sad work in trying to make the starch i wonder what the queen does with hers i stirred mine up with a candle like sally but it only made it worse so we had to ask mama's leave to have hours made by nurse nurse makes beautiful starts like water around wood when you are ill in a minute or two it's a very odd thing that what looks so is this will be so difficult to do then mary put the iron down to hit but as soon as he turned her back a jet of gas cams buttering out of...

the bellflower tree of with trumpet and drum by eugene field the sleeper vox recording is in the public domain when brother bill and i were boys how often in the summer we would seek the shade your branches made a fair and gracious bellflower tree amid the clover bloom we sat and looked upon the holyoke range while fido lay a space away thinking our silence very strange the woodchuck in the pasture lot beside his furtive hole elate heard off beyond the pickerel pond the red-winged blackbird tried her mate the bumblebee went bustling round pursuing labors never done with drone and sting the greedy thing begrudge the sweets we lay upon our eyes looked always at the hills the holy oak hills that seemed to stand between us boys and picture joys of conquest in a further land ah how we coveted the time when we should leave this prozy place and work our wills beyond those hills and meet creation face to face you must have heard our childish talk perhaps our prattle gave you pain for then old friend you seemed to bend your kindly arms about us dwayne it might have been the wind that sighed and yet i thought i heard you say seek not the ills beyond those hills oh stay with me my children stay see i've come back the boy you knew is wiser older sadder grown i come once more just as if you're i come but see i come alone the memory of a brother's love of blighted hopes i bring with me and here i lay my heart today a weary heart a bell flower tree so let me nestle in your shade as though i were a boy again and pray extend your arms old friend and love me as you used to then sing softly as you used to sing and maybe i shall seem to be a little boy and feel the joy of thy repose o bellflower tree
