“ Green is the color I love best,
Because it shades the sparrow’s nest:
It shelters all the woodlands fair,
And little children playing there.
Blue makes me think of bending skies,
And gentians with their fast-closed eyes ”

“ T is for Turkeys, so great and renowned;
H for the Hearth, that we gather around.
A for the Apples, so rosy and sweet;
N for the Nuts that are always a treat;
K for the Kindling we burn in the grate ”
