What does the donkey bray about?

What does the pig grunt through his snout?
What does the goose mean by a hiss?

Oh, Nurse, if you can tell me this,
I'll give you such a kiss.

The cockatoo calls "cockatoo,"

The magpie chatters "how d'ye do?"
The jackdaw bids me "go away,"
Cuckoo cries "cuckoo" half the day:
What do the others say?

[graphic]

Three plum buns

To eat here at the stile

In the clover meadow,

For we have walked a mile.

One for you, and one for me,

And one left over:

Give it to the boy who shouts
To scare sheep from the clover.

[graphic][subsumed]

A motherless soft lambkin

Alone upon a hill;

No mother's fleece to shelter him

And wrap him from the cold:I'll run to him and comfort him,

I'll fetch him, that I will;

I'll care for him and feed him

Until he's strong and bold.

Comparing

what mother

does for a child

[graphic][ocr errors][merged small][merged small]

SING-SONG.

If her father's cottage
Turned into a palace,
And he owned the hill-tops
And the flowering valleys,
She'd be none the happier,
Happy little Alice.
