And did the winter treat you wrong? You little, smiling, gladsome thing! You pretty, pretty flower of spring! You little, little, wee, wee thing! So bright, so cheery in the sun, So everything that every one Would wish a flower to bring. You tiny, tiny little thing! I'm so afraid the frosts will nip Your little feet, you tenderling, You crazy, crazy little thing!
The old man shook his head, and answered, "Were I Bragi; as some think I am, or were I even a strolling harper, I might do as you ask. But I am neither, and I know no gladsome songs. Men have called me a messenger of ill omen; and such, indeed, I have sometimes been, although through no wish of my own.
Movie savages are gay, gladsome creatures anyway, and hopping up and down is their chief mode of expressing themselves. Just one further picture is needed to complete the film.
Over this picture she brooded hours together when no one was near, studying the bonny, gladsome face through blinding tears, and sometimes murmuring incoherent words of tenderness. Her young friends occasionally came to sit with her, by way of enlivening the weary hours of an invalid's day.
Hope, for a time, Suns the young flow'ret in its gladsome light, And it looks flourishing a little while 'Tis pass'd, we know not whither, but 'tis gone." It was Miss Day's custom to present to the parents of her pupils a monthly report of their conduct and recitations. The regular time for this had occurred once since Mr. Horace Dinsmore's return, when she, of course, handed Elsie's to him.
And thus carolling, they passed through the garden moving meadow- wards, Walden at the head of the procession, and Baby Hippolyta seated on his shoulder, was so elated with the gladsome sights and sounds, that she clasped her chubby arms round 'Passon's' neck and kissed him with a fervour that was as fresh and delightful as it was irresistibly comic.
The picturesque forms of several favorite trees, and the porches of rude cottages, with their smiling hedges, were recognized with the gladsome playfulness of childish vivacity. I could have kissed the chickens that pecked on the common; and longed to pat the cows, and frolic with the dogs that sported on it.
Laurence, and Clara, and Charley, and little Alice, had been attracted to other objects, for two or three months past. They had sported in the gladsome sunshine of the present, and so had forgotten the shadowy region of the past, in the midst of which stood Grandfather’s chair.
For half an hour there was most gladsome use of eyes and tongues. Fleda had a great deal to tell them. "How well how well you are looking, dear Fleda!" said her aunt, for the third or fourth time. "That's more than I can say for you and Hugh, aunt Lucy. What have you been doing to yourselves?" "Nothing new," they said, as her eye went from one to the other.
She sorrowed as she might have done for the loss of a very dear brother; while added to that was a half-remorseful feeling which reason could not control or entirely relieve; and it was long ere she was quite her own bright, gladsome sunny self again. The bloom of opening flowers' unsullied beauty Softness and sweetest innocence she wears, And looks like nature in the world's first spring.
