A PASSING CLOUD.

Reading edition

BY M. J.

Illustration from Harper's Young People, April 12, 1881 An Illustrated Weekly

A little cloud went slowly sailing Across the sunny sky; A woful little-wind went wailing Through the tree-tops high: A sudden sunbeam danced across the shadows, And so the shower went by. A little frown came stealing after A gusty little sigh; A pearly tear-drop drowned the laughter Of a merry eye: A sudden smile danced in the baby dimples, And so the shower went by.
