About this ebook
"Smiles": A Book of Recitations for Girls is a collection of poems written by Alice Lewis Richards. Excerpt:
"A sparrow flew to my window one day,
And in a bird's way he began there to say:
"Chirp, chirp, little girl, please listen to me
I'm hungry and cold as a sparrow can be!
"I'd like a small crumb or something to eat,
And may I come in and warm my poor feet?
They're almost frozen out here in the snow;
So kind little girl, please do not say no."
