Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from New Poems for Children He who ascends to the top of the Parnassian heights, must have a soul overflowing with the beauty and melody of truth. He will then gather exquisitely tinted flowers, and scatter them joyfully to exhale their fragrance upon the souls of others. He who only reaches the feet of the Muses, scarcely daring to gaze up to the sublime heights, may receive a soothing balm for his weariness, and be refreshed by the air of the climate. Those who are able to ascend the mount only half-way, may throw a pretty wild flower to a child, and by so doing, may gladden its heart and awaken it to an emotion of beauty, which will grow with its growth and strengthen with its strength. Children, when very young, are susceptible to the rythm of poetry. It falls upon their ears like the sweet warbling of birds in Spring, the murmuring of the rivulet, the sighing of the wind, or the sweet music of a mother´s voice. The nursery tales, "Old Mother Hubbard," and "Little Jack Horner", touch the hearts and please the ears of many children far more than would the same stories without the aid of rhyme; and though these rhymes are but the crude warbling of a bird despoiled of its wings, they fill with pleasure the tender heart of childhood, by their easy, simple smoothness and jingle, and render it susceptible to the power of unwritten music, and to an appreciation of the silent voice of melody, the sweet whisperings of the soul, that may come in after years, awakening it to the high art of poetic culture.
