Let’s read together: Yet Gentle Will The Griffin Be<\/strong> (What Grandpa Told the Children) by Vachel Lindsay<\/h2>\n

The moon? It is a griffin’s egg,
\nHatching tomorrow night.
\nAnd how the little boys will watch
\nWith shouting and delight
\nTo see him break the shell and stretch
\nAnd creep across the sky.<\/p>\n

The boys will laugh. The little girls,
\nI fear, may hide and cry.
\nYet gentle will the griffin be,
\nMost decorous and fat,
\nAnd walk up to the Milky Way
\nAnd lap it like a cat.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
