Woolly white lambkin

Frisks all about.

Cluck! cluck! the nursing hen Summons her folk,Ducklings all downy soft Yellow as yolk.

Cluck! cluck! the mother hen

Summons her chickens.

To peck the dainty bits

Found in her pickings.

Minnie and Mattie

And May carry posies,

Half of sweet violets,
Half of primroses.

Give the sun time enough,

Glowing and glowing,

He'll rouse the roses

And bring them blowing.

Don't wait for roses
Losing to-day,

O Minnie, Mattie,

And wise little May.

Violets and primroses
Blossom to-day

For Minnie and Mattie

And fat little May.

Heartsease in my garden bed,

With sweetwilliam white and red, Honeysuckle on my wall :

Heartsease blossoms in my heart When sweet William comes to call, But it withers when we part, And the honey-trumpets fall.
