Butterfly, butterfly, Off to the flowers,— Wee, soulless sprite Of the long summer BLUE FLAMES ANDRED FLAMES Blue flames and red flames In a world all dark; Blue flames and red flames, And a tiny spark Hurrying to heaven, lest itshould be late; Lest the cautious seraphimclose the shining gate, And leave the little wan-derer forevermore to fly Like an orphan angelthrough the endless sky.

CAPTAIN TICKLEAND HIS NICKEL Captain Tickle had a nickelIn a paper sack,He threw it in the riverAnd he couldnt get it Tickle spent his nickelFor a rubber ball,And when he cut it openThere was nothing there at all.
