Subject(s): Children; Summer; Childhood
THE sun's a lamp so large and round,
It lights up all the sky and ground;
The stars are lamps that shine at night
To keep the lonely pathways bright;
The moon's a lamp that's often small,
And sometimes like a great red ball—
A Chinese lantern in the sky
Hanging very far and high;
Then there are other lamps than these—
Just little lamps among the trees;
And in the grass the fairies swing
Tiny glow-worms flickering,
And in a circle dance and sing.
So there are lamps of every size
Shining in the earth and skies.
