McGuffey's Second Reader Grades 1 and 2馃 Poems

Lesson 25

  • "Clouds that wander through the sky,
    Sometimes low and sometimes high;
    In the darkness of the night,
    In the sunshine warm and bright.
    Ah! I wonder much if you
    Have any useful work to do."
  • "Yes, we're busy night and day,
    As o'er the earth we take our way.
    We are bearers of the rain
    To the grasses, and flowers, and grain;
    We guard you from the sun's bright rays,
    In the sultry summer days."
