Rhyme

 I like to see a thunder storm,

        A dunder storm,

                A blunder storm,

I like to see it, black and slow,

Come stumbling down the hills.

I like to hear a thunder storm,

        A plunder storm,

                A wonder storm,

Roar loudly at our little house,

And shake the window sills!

 ~Elizabeth Coatsworth

 Hold Fast to Your Dreams

 Within your heart

Keep one still, secret spot

Where dreams may go,

And sheltered so,

May thrive and grow--

Where doubt and fear are not.

Oh, keep a place apart

Within your heart,

For little dreams to go.

 ~Louise Driscole

 Who Has Seen the Wind?

 Who has seen the wind?

Neither I nor you:

But when the leaves hang trembling

The wind is passing through.

 Who has seen the wind?

Neither you nor I;

But when the trees bow down their heads

The wind is passing by.

 ~Christina Rossetti

An Emerald is as Green as Grass

 And emerald is as green as grass;

A ruby red as blood;

A sapphire shines as blue as heaven;

A flint lies in the mud.

A diamond is a brilliant stone;

To catch the world's desire;

An opal holds a fiery spark;

But a flint holds fire.

 ~Christina Rossetti
