The Midnight Ride of Paul Revere (Jonquil, and a 23" tall mini horse) |
|
|

Listen, my children, and you shall hear
Of the midnight ride of Paul Revere,
On the eighteenth of April, of Seventy-Five:
Hardly a man is now alive
Who remembers that famous day and year.

An Ojibway Indian (Lilac) |
|

|
By the shores of Gitchee-Gumee,
By the shining Big-Sea-Water,
Stood the wigwam of Nokomis,
Daughter of the Moon, Nokomis.
Dark behind it rose the forest,
Rose the black and gloomy pine trees,
Rose the firs with cones upon them...

Lullaby and goodnight, with roses bedight
With lilies be spread is baby's wee bed
Lay thee down now and rest, may thy slumber be blessed
Lay thee down now and rest, may thy slumber be blessed
Lullaby and goodnight, with mother's delight
Bright angels around my darling may stand
They will guard thee from harm, thou shalt wake in my arms
They will guard thee from harm, thou shalt wake in my arms

Those Frenchies seek him everywhere.
Is he in Heaven or is he in Hell?
That damned elusive Pimpernel.
