StNicholas [serial] . 6y£.*HARKE^ A CURE FOR THE BLUES BY NANCY BYRD TURNER The sky is gray and eerie. The earth is gray and trees are leafless, dreary, And the air is nipping chill;In the garden dead leaves only, Since the flowers went away —And I m lonely, lonely, lonely On this dull New Years Day! I thought I saw a motion From the corner of my eye:Was it but a sudden notion Or did something white slip by ?What is this upon my coat sleeve? What is this upon my fur,Now here, now gone? I wonder If the fairies are Here s another on my mitten, And another on my bag;Now my forehead s gently smitten By a touch as light as tag;One has melted in my dimple, Two are tangled in my hair;—Why, the reason s very simple,— They are thronging everywhere. They are dancing, drifting, swinging, They are diving from the a million downward winging, Here a million romping a fairyland of fairies Loosed upon our world below,—And I was lonely, only Just a little while ago !

They re funny names, but they express Dog nature very once, and see if you can guess,— And if you cant, I 11 tell. Ah, yes, I knew that you would say Fido, and Gyp, and Spot,Rover, and Carlo, Towser, Tray,— But, anyway, they re not! They re Dogstar, Dogberry, Dogfish,Dogwood, Dogwatch, Dogrose; Nobody, I am sure, could wishMore doggy names than those!
