Color The Sirens Three by Crane

These sirens by Crane are angelic.
Description of Coloring Page: female sirens, poem, ship, wings, waves, by Walter Crane

Lost on a sleepless sea, without avail
My soul's ship drifted wide, with idle sail
And slow pulsating oars, that night's blue gulf
Beat noiselessly to Time's recurring tale.

The rolling hours like waves broke, one by one,
Upon the tide of thought times sands outrun,
And cloudy visions hovered o'er my bed,
Piled to the stars, full soon like cloud undone:

As like the wan moon through her fleecy sea,
My spirit clove their rack unceasingly,
And struck at last upon an unknown ground,
More still then sleep, more strange then dreamlands be.

To Elsie Coloring Page and Poem

A young girl dreams in a field of flowers.
Description of Coloring Page: girl, garden, flowers in field, crows, grass, cloudy day, poem

Flow gently, Time Father, throughout 
thy long day,
Flow gently, and steal not sweet child-
hood away.
A maiden's embarking upon thy dark
stream;
Flow gently, Time Father, disturb not 
youth's dream.

Thou shadowy monster of fast waning
years,
Thou gloomy foreboder bedew'd in thy
tears,
Thou faint and decrepit, disheart'ning
old age,
Depress not my maiden with counsel-
ing sage.

Flow gently, Time Father, throughout
thy long day,
Flow gently, kind parent, benign be 
thy sway;
A maiden's embarking upon thy dark
stream,
Flow gently, Time Father, disturb not
youth's dream.

Sleep Baby Sleep coloring page

Child angels watch over baby Jesus as he sleeps.
Description of Coloring Page: Nativity, angels and baby Jesus, hay, poem by John Addington Symonds

Sleep, baby sleep! the Mother sings:
Heaven's angels kneel and fold their wings.
Sleep, baby, sleep! With swathes of scented hay thy bed
By Mary's hand at ever was spread.

Sleep, baby, sleep! At midnight came the shepherds, they
Whom seraphs wakened by the way.

Sleep, baby, sleep! And three kings from the East afar
Ere dawn came guided by a star.

Sleep, baby, sleep! They brought thee gifts of gold and gems
Rich orient pearls, pure diadems.
Sleep, baby, sleep! But thou who liest slumbering there
Art King of kings, earth, ocean, air.

Sleep, baby, sleep! the shepherds sing:
Through heaven, through earth, hosannas ring.
