Marigols Garden by kate Greenaway,1885 (Inside cover)

This is Kate Greenaway's second book, and personally, my favorite of all her books. It is filled with 51 rhymes the artist wrote and the accompanying illustrations. My favorite poems are From Wonder World, To The Sun Door, etc.
From Wonder World

OUT of Wonder World I think you come;
For in your eyes the wonder comes with you.
The stars are the windows of Heaven,
And sometimes I think you peep through,
Oh, little girl, tell us do the Flowers
Tell you secrets when they find you all alone?
Or the Birds and Butterflies whisper
Of things to us unknown?
Or do angel voices speak to you softly,
When we only hear a little wind sigh;
And the peaceful dew of Heaven fall upon you,
When we only see a whitle cloud passing by?

-Originally published by Routledge, London, in 1885-

One was published by Shinshokan Publishing, Inc., Tokyo, 1976

BLUE SHOE

LITTLE Blue Shoes
Mustn't go
Very far alone, you know
Else she'll fall down,
Or, lose her way;
Fancy - what
Would mamma say?
Better put her little hand
Under sister's wise command.
When she's a little older grown
Blue Shoes may go quite alone.

GOING TO SEE GRANDMAMMA

LITTLE Molly and Damon
Are walking so far,
For they're going to see
Their kind Grandmamma.

And they very well know,
When they get there she'll take
From out of her cupboard
Some very nice cake.

And into her garden
They know they may run,
And pick some red currants,
And have lots of fun.

So Damon to doggie
Says, "How do you do?"
And asks his mamma
If he may not go too.

MY LITTLE GIRLIE

LITTLE girlie tell to me
What your wistful blue eyes see?
Why you like to stand so high,
Looking at the far off sky.

Does a tiny Fairy flit
In the pretty blue of it?
Or is it that you hope so soon
To see the rising yellow Moon?

FROM MARKET

OH who'll give us Posies,
And Garlands of Roses,
To twine round our heads so gay?
For here we come bringing
You many good wishes to-day,
From market - from market - from market -
We all come up from market.

LITTLE PHILLIS

A AM a very little girl,
I think that I've turned two;
And if you'd like to know my name
I'd like to tell it you.

They always call me Baby,
But Phillis is my name,
No - no one ever gave it me,
I think it only came.

I've got a pretty tulip
In my little flower-bed;
If you would like I'll give it you -
It's yellow, striped with red.

I've got a little kitten, but
I can't give that way,
She likes to play with me so much;
She's gone to sleep to-day.

And I've got a nice new dolly.
Shall I fetch her out to you?
She's got such pretty shoes on,
And her bonnet's trimmed with blue.

You'd like to take her home with you?
Oh, no, she mustn't go;
Goodbye - I want to run now,
You walk along so slow.

FIRST ARRIVALS

"IT is a Party, do you know,
And there they sit, all in a row,
Waiting till the others come,
To begin to have some fun.

Hark! the bell rings sharp and clear,
Other little friends appear;
And no longer all alone
They begin to feel at home.

To them a little hard is Fate,
Yet better early than too late;
Fancy getting there forlorn,
With the tea and cake all gone.

Wonder what they'll have for tea;
Hope the jam is strawberry.
Wonder what the dance and game;
feel so very glad they came.

Very Happy may you be,
May you much enjoy your tea.

IN AN APPLE TREE

IN September, when the apples were red,
To Belinda I said,
To twine round our heads so gay?
"Would you like to go away
To Heaven, or stay
Here in this orchard full of trees
All your life?" And she said, "If you please
I'll stay here - where I know,
And the flowers grow."

THE TEA PARTY

IN the pleasant green Garden
We sat down to tea;
"Do you take sugar?" and
"Do you take milk?"
She'd got a new gown on -
A smart one of silk.
We all were so happy
As happy could be,
On that bright Summer's day
When she asked us to tea.
