It is, we tried it last year in my English class. It works especially well with "A Spotted Fellow in the Grass". You can also try singing some of her poems to "Giligan's Island" or "The Wild Colonial Boy". It works with other poets too including Samuel Taylor Cooleridge and William Blake. BTW, I think this is my first post on the list. Hi!!

I don't know if that is true, but certainly this one can. <smile> ----- Original Message ----- From: Kevin Boozer To: bookshare-discuss@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Saturday, June 17, 2006 8:17 PM Subject: [bookshare-discuss] Re: The Postcard - by Beverly Lewis Dear Rik, I found the poem at www. bartleby.com. Here it is in is entirety for your reading pleasure. The first four lines will help you to validate your book. I am looking forward to reading The Postcard. Take care, Kevin Boozer It's All I Have To Bring Today It's all I have to bring to-day, This, and my heart beside, This, and my heart, and all the fields, And all the meadows wide. Be sure you count, should I forget,-- Some one the sum could tell,-- This, and my heart, and all the bees Which in the clover dwell.

This quote heads up that book The Postcard book by Beverly Lewis that I'm trying to validate. And given that the OpenBook version was not produced in Exact View, I have not really a way I can think of to come up with the correction. And since the character uses this Dickenson in the "postcard" it just might be a nice thing to know if the possible future Bookshare reader downloads the book! So, maybe think of it as your chance on the Weakest Link, or Jeopardy or something! Here is the text I have .... all S7 naue io oring today, IJnis, and mu Aeart oeside, Unis, and ma £eart, and all t£e fields, And all tne meadows wide Emily Dickinson (circa 1858) Note: I did a Google and got to Poets.org where you can search, but I didn't on quick try have success.
