- THE YOUNG CITIZEN CARNIVAL TIME By Anatolio Litonjua Children, dear children, if you will be good, Father will take you tonight to the show, To the merry-go-round and the army parade, To the land where delights like the lights ever glow. It's Carnival Time. It's time to enjoy While we may. For the years will gn by like a dream: We awake and we find that all is not play, And men are not joyous and free as they seem. Children, dear childi·en, then be gentle and good, Father will show you a red and white clown And a woman in white like a sprite in the nightAll these you will .~ee in Cai·nival Town. f'ebruar!J 1 ~).;
