Figure descriptions
Multiple children play pretend with a horse-drawn mail-cart. Two children pull the
cart from the front and three children push
it from the back. A girl sits in the cart and a boy pretends to drive the cart. The
driver holds up a whip, and looks as if he is
about to whip his peers who are pulling the cart. A child runs behind the cart, racing
toward the group of children. There is a
stone building and steps behind the children. Wild flowers and grass line the path
on which they play. The hand-drawn poem title is
placed in a blank, irregularly-shaped, rectangle in the top-left corner of the illustration.
The first stanza of the poem text is
let in to blank space in the bottom-right corner of the illustration. The main illustration
fades into the page, and the full poem
page is contained within a dark, medium-weight border.
