From the 1935 film Curly Top. Elizabeth (Shirley Temple) recites two short poems for her uncle Edward (John Boles).
The first poem, "Before," was published in Punch magazine in 1919, with the author named simply as "R.F." -- probably Rose Fyleman, a British children's poet who also wrote the second poem Shirley recites, entitled "Spring-Time."
