INDEX OF FIRST LINES

A boy named Peter
Across the German Ocean
Across the narrow beach we flit
“And where have you been, my Mary
A silly young cricket, accustomed to sing
A simple Child
At evening when the lamp is lit
“Awake, awake, my little boy! 
A wee little nut lay deep in its nest
A wind came up out of the sea

Come, follow, follow me
Come up, April, through the valley

Dance to the beat of the rain, little Fern
Dear little Violet
Don’t kill the birds, the pretty birds
Down in a green and shady bed

Ere my heart beats too coldly and faintly

Forth into the forest straightway
Forth upon the Gitche Gumee

“Give me of your bark, O Birch-Tree! 
God make my life a little light
Good-bye, good-bye to Summer
“Great, wide, beautiful, wonderful world

Hail, Columbia! happy land! 
Hark! hark! the lark at heaven’s gate sings
Have you ever heard the wind go “Yooooo”? 
He is a roguish little elf
Here’s a hand to the boy who has courage
How beautiful is the rain! 
How pleasant the life of a bird must be
