THE WOODCHUCK’S PORTRAIT.

Sit still, Mr. Woodchuck,

As still as can be,

Till the picture is finished

And then you shall see.

.

It is not every woodchuck

Who has such a chance

As this set before him,

His worth to enhance.

Hey, every Gnome, Spirit and Fay its Ground-Hog Day!

Illustration by M. T. Ross from A Year With the Fairies.  Ground-Hog Day.

“Ground-Hog Day.”

Now, listen to my proclamation,

Each Gnome, and Spirit, and Fay,

And mind no weather-man but me,

For this is Ground-Hog Day.

When Lady Spring my shadow sees

In fright she runs away,

But since my shadow I have hid,

Miss Spring will come to stay.

A Year With the Fairies.
