The children sing in far Japan, The children sing in Spain; The organ with the organ man Is singing in the rain. [Illustration] LOOKING FORWARD When I am grown to man's estate I shall be very proud and great, And tell the other girls and boys Not to meddle with my toys.

s England, tall as a spire, Full of apes and cocoa-nuts And the negro hunters' huts;-- Where the knotty crocodile Lies and blinks in the Nile, And the red flamingo flies Hunting fish before his eyes;-- Where in jungles, near and far, Man-devouring tigers are, Lying close and giving ear Lest the hunt be drawing near, [Illustration] Or a comer-by be seen Swinging in a palanquin;-- Where among the desert sands Some deserted city stands, All its children, sweep and prince, Grown to manhood ages since, Not a foot in street or house, Not a stir of child or mouse, And when kindly falls the night, In all the town no spark of light. There I'll come when I'm a man With a camel caravan; Light a fire in the gloom Of some dusty dining-room; See the pictures on the walls, Heroes, fights, and festivals; And in a corner find the toys Of the old Egyptian boys. [Illustration] SINGING Of speckled eggs the birdie sings And nests among the trees; The sailor sings of ropes and things In ships upon the seas.  SECTION NUMBER TWO OF A CHILD'S GARDEN OF VERSES BY ROBERT LOUIS STEVENSON THIS THE ROCKS RECORDED IN THE PUBLIC DOMAIN SINGING OF SPECKLED EGGS THE BIRDIE SINGS AND NESTS AMONG THE TREES THE SAILOR SINGS OF ROPES AND THINGS AND SHIPS UPON THE SEAS
