Poem to Memorize

Due Thurs., Nov. 13

 

 

Indian Children

 

Where we walk to school each day

Indian children use to play-

All about our native land

Where the shops and houses stand.

 

And the trees were very tall,

And there were no streets at all,

Not a church and not a steeple –

Only woods and Indian people.

 

Only wigwams on the ground,

And at night bears prowling round –

What a difference place to-day

Where we live and work and play!
