The Moon Boat; illustrator Shirley Kite
By Mrs. H. H. A. Beach:
"The moon looks like a silver boat
That sails across the sky;
Oh! how I'd like to ride in it
And see the stars close by.
My little boat would dash through clouds
That seem like ocean foam;
Perhaps I'd get all tired and wet,
And so I'll just stay home, home, home,
Just stay home!"
From “The Music Hour”, Third Book by McConathy, Miessner , Birge, and Bray. Illustrated by Shirley Kite. Silver, Burdett and Company, 1929.
Dragon-Flies or the fairy aeroplanes; illustrator Shirley Kite
Dragon-Flies by Annie M. C. Ostrander
"Gliding, gliding, there goes a fairy aeroplane
Off across the pond where lilies reign.
Gliding, gliding, circling and whirling ‘round,
And then carrying all the fairies home again."
From “The Music Hour”, Third Book by McConathy, Miessner , Birge, and Bray. Illustrated by Shirley Kite. Silver, Burdett and Company, 1929.
