Country Roads

5×7.5 in

Rare early published watercolor and ink

Illustration for Poems and Rhymes Volume 1 of the Childcraft How and Why Library, 1972 for the poem City Streets and Country Roads by Eleanor Farjoen.

City Streets and Country Roadss

The city has streets-
But the country has roads.
In the country one meets
Blue cars with their loads.
Of sweet-smelling hay,
And mangolds, and grain;
Oh, take me away
To the country again!

In the city one sees
Big trams rattle by,
And the breath of the chimneys
That blot out the sky,
And all down the pavements
Stiff lamp-posts one sees-
But the country has hedgerows,
The country has trees.

As sweet as the sun
In the country is rain;
Oh, take me away
To the country again!
