Wonder.My thought is filled with wonder, The day one grand surprise, First one thing and then another Has come before my eyes. A spider in the garden, Was weaving fairy clothes, A child stood by to watch it Under her little toes. A bold and craggy mountain, A sparkling waterfall; And picturesque stalactites Hang from a cavern wall. I saw two little eaglets Just learning how to fly; Sun shadows through an oak-bough, A river flowing by. A brilliant patch of sumac Along a winding road; A quaint old fashioned cabin, (Some pioneer's abode). Oh, there were many others, I quite forget the rest, Because my baby's fingers Lie gently on my breast. __Marie Emery George. |
