“In the hush of a tender twilight, when shadows veiled the land,
An angel came to the quiet earth with a white rose in his hand;
And the stars came out to listen, as the angel floated by,
For he sang a song so gently, that it felt like a lullaby.”
DIDO will be glad if any of the readers of THE GIRL’S OWN PAPER can
kindly inform her in which collections she can find the following
poems, or any others suitable to recite at penny readings:—“Not in the
Programme,” “Burglar Bill,” “The Wreck of the _Puffin_.”
BLUEBELL wishes to discover two recitations and the names of their
authors:—“The Door of the Lips,” “A Ballad of Saint Swithin’s Day.”

shorthand typist, interested in languages and drawing, and fond of

the other in German and English alternately, at the same time noting
any errors made in previous letters.
