It is doubtful if Bible stories in simple language form are of much value to the boy. If he is too young to read the language on his own account, the stories had better be read aloud to him from the Authorized Version. Then as early as possible let him cultivate the habit of learning this wonderful book first hand. Nothing in the field of literature will serve him better than will this reading habit.

INDEX TO FIRST LINES OF POEMS

	PAGE
A great while ago the world began	58
A life on the ocean wave	130
As I in hoary winter's night stood shivering in the snow	85
At Flores in the Azores, Sir Richard Grenville lay	122
A wet sheet and a flowing sea	86
Bless the Lord, O my soul	152
Blow, blow, thou winter wind	98
Boats sail on the rivers	38
Boot, saddle, to horse and away	93
By the rude bridge that arched the flood	134
Call for the robin redbreast and the wren	70
Come, dear children, let us away	73
Come follow, follow me	64
Come unto these yellow sands	57
Dainty little maiden, whither would you wander	49
Do you ask what the birds say? the sparrow, the dove	59
Entreat me not to leave thee	55
Faintly as tolls the evening chime	105
Fair Daffodils, we weep to see	89
From gold to gray	119
From Oberon, in fairy land	91
Full fathom five thy father lies	67
God of our fathers, known of old	141
Good-bye, good-bye to Summer	60
Hark, hark, the dogs do bark	33
Hark, hark, the lark at heaven's gate sings	68
Haste thee, Nymph, and bring with thee	120
He clasps the crag with crooked hands	131
He that dwelleth in the secret place of the most high	113
How sleep the brave who sink to rest	130
Hush thee, my babby	35
Hush! the waves are rolling in	49
I bring fresh showers for the thirsting flowers	116
I come from haunts of coot and hern	82
I have a little shadow that goes in and out with me	46
In winter I get up at night	40
I saw a ship a-sailing	36
I saw you toss the kites on high	56
I sprang to the stirrup, and Joris, and he	108
It was the schooner Hesperus	100
I wandered lonely as a cloud	135
Jog on, jog on, the foot-path way	58
Lady Moon, Lady Moon, where are you roving	54
Little Bo-Peep has lost her sheep	35
Little Boy Blue, come blow your horn	34
Little Lamb, who made thee	51
Lord, thou hast been our dwelling place	132
Minnie and Winnie lived in a shell	50
Much have I travell'd in the realms of gold	140
My heart leaps up when I behold	70
Now fades the last long streak of snow	107
Of speckled eggs the birdie sings	37
Oh, hush thee, my babie! thy sire was a knight	63
Oh, who is so merry, so merry, heigh-ho	44
O Lord, our Lord	79
O Mary, go and call the cattle home	104
Over hill, over dale	69
O wedding-guest! this soul hath been	106
Pack, clouds, away, and welcome day	71
Pease porridge hot	33
Pibroch of Donuil Dhu	117
Pussy cat, pussy cat, where have you been	33
Queen and huntress, chaste and fair	84
Ring out, wild bells, to the wild sky	65
Season of mists and mellow fruitfulness	137
Sleep, baby, sleep, our cottage vale is deep	34
Sleep, baby, sleep, thy father is tending the sheep	41
Spring, the sweet spring, is the year's pleasant king	53
Sweet and low, sweet and low	47
The Assyrian came down like a wolf on the fold	111
The cock is crowing	72
The curfew tolls the knell of parting day	146
The friendly cow, all red and white	39
The gorse is yellow on the heath	97
The heavens declare the glory of God	94
The king sits in Dunfermline town	142
The Lord is my shepherd	42
The melancholy days are come, the saddest of the year	99
The Northern Star sailed over the bar	96
The rain is raining all around	37
The splendour falls on castle walls	81
The voice of my beloved! behold, he cometh	65
The warm sun is failing, the bleak wind is wailing	90
The world is so full of a number of things	37
The year's at the spring	67
This is the ship of pearl, which, poets feign	136
Three mice went into a hole to spin	34
Under the greenwood tree	88
Up the airy mountain	52
Up, up, ye dames, ye lasses gay	73
Wee Willie Winkie runs through the town	35
What does little birdie say	41
When cats run home and light is come	58
When children are playing alone on the green	61
When daffodils begin to peer	58
Whenever the moon and stars are set	39
When icicles hang by the wall	68
When I was sick and lay a-bed	45
When the green woods laugh with the voice of joy	62
Where lies the land to which the ship would go	87
Where the bee sucks, there suck I	57
Whither, 'midst falling dew	139
Who has seen the wind	38
Who is Sylvia? what is she	121
Who would true valour see	115
You spotted snakes with double tongue	47
