SUSAN BLUE.
Oh, Susan Blue,
How do you do?
Please may I go for a walk with you?
Where shall we go?
Oh, I know—
Down in the meadow where the cowslips grow!

[5]
[6]
SUSAN BLUE. 9
BLUE SHOES.
Little Blue Shoes
Mustn't go
Very far alone, you know
Else she'll fall down,
Or, lose her way;
Fancy—what
Would mamma say?
Better put her little hand
Under sister's wise command.
When she's a little older grown
Blue Shoes may go quite alone.

[6]
[7]
STREET SHOW.
Puff, puff, puff. How the trumpets blow
All you little boys and girls come and see the show.
One—two—three, the Cat runs up the tree;
But the little Bird he flies away—
"She hasn't got me!"

[7]
BLUE SHOES. 10
[8]
TO THE SUN DOOR.

They saw it rise in the morning,
They saw it set at night,
And they longed to go and see it,
Ah! if they only might.
The little soft white clouds heard them,
And stepped from out of the blue;
And each laid a little child softly
Upon its bosom of dew.
And they carried them higher and higher,
And they nothing knew any more
Until they were standing waiting
In front of the round gold door.
And they knocked, and called, and entreated,
Whoever should be within;
But all to no purpose, for no one
Would hearken to let them in.

[8]
[9]
STREET SHOW. 11
THE DAISIES.
You very fine Miss Molly, Perhaps you take a

sister,
What will the daisies say,
Perhaps you take a
If you carry home so many brother,
Of their little friends to-day? Or two little daisies

who
Were fond of one

another.
[9]
[10]
THE DANCING FAMILY.

Pray let me introduce you to
This little dancing family;
For morning, afternoon, and night
They danced away so happily.
They twirled round about,
They turned their toes out;
The people wondered what the noise
Could all be about.
They danced from early morning,
Till very late at night;
THE DAISIES. 12
Both in-doors and out-of-doors,
With very great delight.

[10]
[11]
And every sort of dance they knew,
From every country far away;
And so it was no wonder that
They should keep dancing all the day.
So dancing—dancing—dancing,
In sunshine or in rain;
And when they all left off,
Why then—they all began again.

[11]
[12]
GOING TO SEE GRANDMAMMA.

Little Molly and Damon And into her garden
Are walking so far, They know they may

run,
For they're going to see
And pick some red
Their kind Grandmamma. currants,
And they very well know, And have lots of fun.
When they get there she'll take So Damon to doggie
THE DANCING FAMILY. 13

From out of her cupboard Says, "How do you do?"
Some very nice cake. And asks his mamma
If he may not go too.

[12]
[13]
WISHES.
Oh, if you were a little boy,
And I was a little girl—
Why you would have some whiskers grow
And then my hair would curl.
Ah! if I could have whiskers grow,
I'd let you have my curls;
But what's the use of wishing it—
Boys never can be girls.

[13]
[14]
FIRST ARRIVALS.
It is a Party, do you know, To them a little hard is Fate,
And there they sit, all in a row, Yet better early than too late;
Waiting till the others come, Fancy getting there forlorn,
GOING TO SEE GRANDMAMMA. 14

To begin to have some fun. With the tea and cake all gone.
Hark! the bell rings sharp and clear, Wonder what they'll have for tea;
Other little friends appear; Hope the jam is strawberry.
And no longer all alone Wonder what the dance and game;
They begin to feel at home. Feel so very glad they came.

Very Happy may you be,
May you much enjoy your tea.

[14]
[15]
WHEN WE WENT OUT WITH GRANDMAMMA.

When we went out with One on each side we had to go,
Grandmamma—
And never laugh or loll;
Mamma said for a treat—
I carried Prim, her Spaniard dog,
Oh, dear, how stiff we had to walk
And Tom—her parasol.
As we went down the street.
[15]
[16]
If I looked right—if Tom looked left—
"Tom—Susan—I'm ashamed;
And little Prim, I'm sure, is shocked,
To hear such naughties named."

She said we had no manners, She said they never wished then
FIRST ARRIVALS. 15
If we ever talked or sung; To play—oh, indeed!
"You should have seen," said Grandmamma, They learnt to sew and needlework,
"Me walk, when I was young." Or else to write and read.
She told us—oh, so often— She said her mother never let
How little girls and boys, Her speak a word at meals;
In the good days when she was young, "But now," said Grandmamma,
"you'd think
Never made any noise.
That children's tongues had wheels
"So fast they go—clack, clack, clack, clack;
Now listen well, I pray,
And let me see you both improve
From what I've said to-day."

[16]
[17]
TO MYSTERY LAND. Oh, dear, I'm sure it is true;
Oh, dear, how will it end? Whatever on earth can it matter to you?
Peggy and Susie how naughty you are. For you know it—oh, fie—
You little know where you are, That it's naughty to pry
Going so far, and so high, Into other's affairs—
Nearly up to the sky. Into other folks houses to go,
Perhaps it's a Giant who lives there, Where you know
And perhaps it's a lovely Princess. You're not asked.
But you very well know So you'd better come back
You've no business to go; While there's time, it is plain.
WHEN WE WENT OUT WITH GRANDMAMMA. 16

You'll get yourselves into a mess. Go home—and be never
So naughty again.
[17]
[18]
FROM MARKET.
Oh who'll give us Posies,
And Garlands of Roses,
To twine round our heads so gay?
For here we come bringing
You many good wishes to-day.
From market—from market—from market—
We all come up from market.

[18]
[19]
LITTLE PHILLIS.
I am a very little girl, I've got a little kitten, but
I think that I've turned two; I can't give that away,
And if you'd like to know my name She likes to play with me so much;
I'd like to tell it you. She's gone to sleep to-day.
They always call me Baby, And I've got a nice new dolly,
TO MYSTERY LAND. 17
But Phillis is my name. Shall I fetch her out to you?
No—no one ever gave it me, She's got such pretty shoes on,
I think it only came. And her bonnet's trimmed with blue.
I've got a pretty tulip You'd like to take her home with you?
In my little flower-bed; Oh, no, she mustn't go;
If you would like I'll give it you— Good-bye—I want to run now,
It's yellow, striped with red. You walk along so slow.

[19]
[20]
THE FOUR PRINCESSES.

Four Princesses lived in a Green Tower—
A Bright Green Tower in the middle of the sea;
And no one could think—oh, no one could think—
Who the Four Princesses could be.
One looked to the North, and one to the South,
And one to the East, and one to the West;
They were all so pretty, so very pretty,
You could not tell which was the prettiest.

[20]
[21]
Their curls were golden—their eyes were blue,
LITTLE PHILLIS. 18
And their voices were sweet as a silvery bell;
And four white birds around them flew,
But where they came from—who could tell?
Oh, who could tell? for no one knew,
And not a word could you hear them say.
But the sound of their singing, like church bells ringing,
Would sweetly float as they passed away.
For under the sun, and under the stars,
They often sailed on the distant sea;
Then in their Green Tower and Roses bower
They lived again—a mystery.

[21]
[22]
WHEN YOU AND I GROW UP.

When you and I
Grow up—Polly—
I mean that you and me,
Shall go sailing in a big ship
Right over all the sea.
We'll wait till we are older,
For if we went to-day,
You know that we might lose ourselves,
And never find the way.
THE FOUR PRINCESSES. 19

[22]
[23]
IN AN APPLE TREE.
In September, when the apples were red,
To Belinda I said,
"Would you like to go away
To Heaven, or stay
Here in this orchard full of trees
All your life?" And she said, "If you please
I'll stay here—where I know,
And the flowers grow."

[23]
[24]
THE WEDDING BELLS.

The Wedding Bells were ringing,
And Monday was the day,
And all the little ladies
Were there so fresh and gay.
And up—up—up the steps they went,
The wedding fine to see;
WHEN YOU AND I GROW UP. 20

And the Roses were all for the Bride,
So pretty—so pretty was she.

[24]
[25]
THE LITTLE LONDON GIRL.

In my little Green House, quite content am I,
When the hot sun pours down from the sky;
For oh, I love the country—the beautiful country.
Who'd live in a London street when there's the country?
I live in a London street, then I long and long
To be the whole day the sweet Flowers among
Instead of tall chimney-pots up in the sky,
The joy of seeing Birds and Dragon Flies go by.

[25]
[26]
At home I lie in bed, and cannot go to sleep,
For the sound of cart-wheels upon the hard street.
But here my eyes close up to no sound of anything
Except it is to hear the nightingales sing.
And then I see the Chickens and the Geese go walking,
I hear the Pigs and the Ducks all talking.
THE WEDDING BELLS. 21

And the Red and the Spotted Cows they stare at me,
As if they wondered whoever I could be.
I see the little Lambs out with their mothers—
Such pretty little white young sisters and brothers.
Oh, I'll stay in the country, and make a daisy chain,
And never go back to London again.

[26]
[27]
TO BABY.
Oh, what shall my blue eyes go see?
Shall it be pretty Quack-Quack to-day?
Or the Peacock upon the Yew Tree?
Or the dear little white Lambs at play?
Say Baby.
For Baby is such a young Petsy,
And Baby is such a sweet Dear.
And Baby is growing quite old now—
She's just getting on for a year.

[27]
[28]
THE LITTLE LONDON GIRL. 22

WILLY AND HIS SISTER.

[28]
[29]
Willy said to his sister, "And the big heaps of corn
"Please may I go with you?" That lie upon the floor;
She said, "You must behave He will let me play with those
Very nicely if you do." I am quite sure.
"Please will you take me then "I like to hear the wheel
To look at the mill?" Make such a rushing sound,
"Yes," she said, "because you are And see the pretty water
So very good—I will." Go round, and round, and round.
"The miller he is "So take me to the mill,
So very white and kind; For then you shall see
And sprinkled all over What a very, very good boy
With the flour they grind. I really mean to be."

[29]
[30]
AT SCHOOL.
Five little Girls, sitting on a form,
Five little Girls, with lessons to learn,
Five little Girls, who, I'm afraid,
TO BABY. 23
Won't know them a bit when they have to be said.
For little eyes are given to look
Anywhere else than on their book;
And little thoughts are given to stray
Anywhere—ever so far away.

[30]
[31]
HAPPY DAYS.
"Are you going next week to see Phillis and Phoebe?
Phillis on Monday will be just fourteen.
She says we shall all have our tea in the garden,
And afterwards have some nice games on the green.
"I wanted a new frock, but mother said, 'No,'
So I must be content with my old one you see.
But then white is so pretty, and kind Aunt Matilda
Has sent down a beautiful necklace for me."

[31]
[32]
"Oh, yes, I am going, and Peggy is going,
And mother is making us new frocks to wear;
I shall have my red sash and my hat with pink ribbons—
AT SCHOOL. 24
I know all the girls will be smart who are there.
"And then, too, we're going to each take a nosegay—
The larger the better—for Phillis to say
That all her friends love her, and wish her so happy,
And bring her sweet flowers upon her birthday.
"And won't it be lovely, in beautiful sunshine,
The table spread under the great apple tree,
To see little Phillis—that dear little Phillis—
Look smiling all round as she pours out the tea!"

[32]
[33]
THE LITTLE QUEEN'S COMING.

With Roses—red Roses, Then clash out a welcome,
We'll pelt her with Roses, Let all the bells sound, come,
And Lilies—white Lilies we'll drop at her feet; To give her a welcoming proud and sweet.
The little Queen's coming, How her blue eyes will beam,
The people are running— And her golden curls gleam,
The people are running to greet and to meet. When the sound of our singing rings down the
street.
[33]
[34]
HAPPY DAYS. 25
ON THE WALL TOP.

Dancing and prancing to town we go,
On the top of the wall of the town we go.
Shall we talk to the stars, or talk to the moon,
Or run along home to our dinner so soon?

[34]
[35]
ON THE WALL TOP.

So high—so high on the wall we run,
The nearer the sky—why, the nearer the sun,
If you give me one penny, I'll give you two,
For that's the way good neighbours do.

[35]
[36]
TIP-A-TOE.
Tip-a-Toe,
See them go;
One, two, three—
Chloe, Prue, and me;
Up and down,
THE LITTLE QUEEN'S COMING. 26

To the town.
A Lord was there,
And the Lady fair.
And what did they sing?
Oh, "Ring-a-ding-ding;"
And the Black Crow flew off
With the Lady's Ring.

[36]
[37]
MAMMAS AND BABIES.

"My Polly is so very good,
Belinda never cries;
My Baby often goes to sleep,
See how she shuts her eyes.
"Dear Mrs. Lemon tell me when
Belinda goes to school;
And what time does she go to bed?"
"Well, eight o'clock's the rule.
"But now and then, just for a treat,
I let her wait awhile;
You shake your head—why, wouldn't you?
Do look at Baby's smile!"

[37]
TIP-A-TOE. 27
[38]
"Dear Mrs. Primrose will you come
One day next week to tea?
Of course bring Rosalinda, and
That darling—Rosalie."
"Dear Mrs. Cowslip, you are kind;
My little folks, I know,
Will be so very pleased to come;
Dears—tell Mrs. Cowslip so.
"Oh, do you know—perhaps you've not heard—
She had a dreadful fright;
My Daisy with the measles
Kept me up every night.
"And then I've been so worried—
Clarissa had a fit;
And the doctor said he couldn't
In the least account for it."

[38]
[39]
MAMMAS AND BABIES. 28

MY LITTLE GIRLIE.
Little girlie tell to me Does a tiny Fairy flit
What your wistful blue eyes see? In the pretty blue of it?
Why you like to stand so high, Or is it that you hope so soon
Looking at the far off sky. To see the rising yellow

Moon?
Or is it—as I think I've heard—
You're looking for a little Bird
To come and sit upon a spray,
And sing the summer night away?

[39]
[40]
THE CATS HAVE COME TO TEA.

[40]
[41]
What did she see—oh, what did she see, What a fine turn out—from round about,
As she stood leaning against the tree? All the houses had let them out,
Why all the Cats had come to tea. And here they were with scamper and shout.
"Mew—mew—mew!" was all they could say,
And, "We hope we find you well to-day."

Oh, what should she do—oh, what should she do? She didn't know—oh, she didn't know,
What a lot of milk they would get through; If bread and butter they'd like or no;
For here they were with "Mew—mew—mew!" They might want little mice, oh! oh! oh!
MY LITTLE GIRLIE. 29
Dear me—oh, dear me,
All the cats had come to tea.

[41]
[42]
THE TEA PARTY.

In the pleasant green Garden
We sat down to tea;
"Do you take sugar?" and
"Do you take milk?"
She'd got a new gown on—
A smart one of silk.
We all were so happy
As happy could be,
On that bright Summer's day
When she asked us to tea.

[42]
[43]
THE CATS HAVE COME TO TEA. 30

UNDER ROSE ARCHES.

Under Rose Arches to Rose Town— Twist and twine Roses and Lilies,
Rose Town on the top of the hill; And little leaves green,
For the Summer wind blows and music goes, Fit for a queen;
And the violins sound shrill. Twist and twine Roses and Lilies.
Oh, Roses shall be for her carpet, Twist and twine Roses and Lilies,
And her curtains of Roses so fair; And all the bells ring,
And a Rosy crown, while far adown And all the people sing;
Floats her long golden hair. Twist and twine Roses and Lilies.
[43]
[44]
A GENTEEL FAMILY.
Some children are so naughty,
And some are very good;
But the Genteel Family
Did always what it should.
They put on gloves when they went out,
And ran not in the street;
And on wet days not one of them
Had ever muddy feet.
Then they were always so polite,
And always thanked you so;
And never threw their toys about,
UNDER ROSE ARCHES. 31

As naughty children do.

[44]
[45]
They always learnt their lessons
When it was time they should;
And liked to eat up all their crusts—
They were so very good.
And then their frocks were never torn,
Their tuckers always clean;
And their hair so very tidy—
Always quite fit to be seen.
Then they made calls with their mamma
And were so very neat;
And learnt to bow becomingly
When they met you in the street.
And really they were everything
That children ought to be;
And well may be examples now
For little you—and me.

[45]
[46]
A GENTEEL FAMILY. 32
BABY
MINE.
Baby
mine, over
the trees;
Baby
mine, over
the
flowers;
Baby
mine, over
the
sunshine;
Baby
mine, over
the
showers.
Baby mine, over the land;
Baby mine, over the water.
Oh, when had a mother before
Such a sweet—such a sweet,

little daughter!
[46]
[47]
LITTLE GIRLS AND LITTLE LAMBS.

In the May-time flowers grow;
Little girls in meadows go;
Little lambs frisk with delight,
And in the green grass sleep at night.
BABY MINE. 33
Little birds sing all the day,
Oh, in such a happy way!
All the day the sun is bright,
Little stars shine all the night.
The Cowslip says to the Primrose,
"How soft the little Spring wind blows!"
The Daisy and the Buttercup
Sing every time that they look up.
For beneath the sweet blue sky
They see a pretty Butterfly;
The Butterfly, when he looks down,
Says, "What a pretty Flower Town!"

[47]
[48]
FROM
WONDER
WORLD.
Out of Wonder World I
think you come;
For in your eyes the

wonder comes with
you.
The stars are the

windows of Heaven,
And sometimes I think

you peep through.
LITTLE GIRLS AND LITTLE LAMBS. 34

Oh, little girl, tell us do
the Flowers
Tell you secrets when

they find you all alone?
Or the Birds and

Butterflies whisper
Of things to us
unknown?
Or do angel voices speak to you so softly,
When we only hear a little wind sigh;
And the peaceful dew of Heaven fall upon you
When we only see a white cloud passing by?

[48]
[49]
CHILD'S SONG.
The King and the Queen were riding
Upon a Summer's day,
And a Blackbird flew above them,
To hear what they did say.
The King said he liked apples,
The Queen said she liked pears.
And what shall we do to the Blackbird
Who listens unawares.

[49]
FROMWONDERWORLD. 35
[50]
MISS MOLLY AND THE LITTLE FISHES.

Oh, sweet Miss Molly,
You're so fond
Of Fishes in a little Pond.
And perhaps they're glad
To see you stare
With such bright eyes
Upon them there.
And when your fingers and your thumbs
Drop slowly in the small white crumbs
I hope they're happy. Only this—
When you've looked long enough, sweet miss.
Then, most beneficent young giver,
Restore them to their native river.

[50]
[51]
THE LITTLE JUMPING GIRLS.

Jump—jump—jump— Jump—jump—jump—
Jump away Jump over the moon;
From this town into Jump all the morning,
CHILD'S SONG. 36
The next, to-day. And all the noon.
[51]
[52]
Jump all night; And leave behind
Won't our mothers Everything evil
Be in a fright? That we may find.
Over the sea; Jump far away;
What wonderful wonders And all come home
We shall see. Some other day.

[52]
[53]
RING-A-RING.
Ring-a-ring of little boys.
Ring-a-ring of girls;
All around—all around,
Twists and twirls.

You are merry children; "We live in the mountain,
"Yes, we are." We live in the tree;
Where do you come from? And I live in the river-bed,
"Not very far. And you won't catch me!"
THE LITTLE JUMPING GIRLS. 37

[53]
[54]
ON THE BRIDGE.
If I could see a little fish— I think I'll get some stones to throw,
That is what I just now wish! And watch the pretty circles show.
I want to see his great round eyes Or shall we sail a flower-boat,
Always open in surprise. And watch it slowly—slowly float?
I wish a water rat would glide That's nice—because you never know
Slowly to the other side; How far away it means to go;
Or a dancing spider sit And when to-morrow comes, you see,
On the yellow flags a bit. It may be in the great wide sea.

[54]
[55]
BALL.
One—two, is one to you:
One—two—three, is one to me.
Throw it fast or not at all,
And mind you do not let it fall.

[55]
RING-A-RING. 38
[56]
Fairy Blue Eyes
And Fairy Brown,
And dear little Golden Curls,
Look down.
I say "Good-bye"—
"Good-bye" with no pain—
Till some happy day
We meet again!

BALL. 45
1.F.1. Project Gutenberg volunteers and employees expend considerable

Section 2. Information about the Mission of Project Gutenberg-tm
Project Gutenberg-tm is synonymous with the free distribution of

electronic works in formats readable by the widest variety of computers
including obsolete, old, middle-aged and new computers. It exists
because of the efforts of hundreds of volunteers and donations from
people in all walks of life.
Volunteers and financial support to provide volunteers with the

assistance they need, is critical to reaching Project Gutenberg-tm's
goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg-tm collection will
remain freely available for generations to come. In 2001, the Project
Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure
and permanent future for Project Gutenberg-tm and future generations.

Section 4. Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg

Literary Archive Foundation
Project Gutenberg-tm depends upon and cannot survive without wide

spread public support and donations to carry out its mission of
increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be
freely distributed in machine readable form accessible by the widest
array of equipment including outdated equipment. Many small donations
($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt
status with the IRS.
The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating

charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United
States. Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a
considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up
with these requirements. We do not solicit donations in locations
where we have not received written confirmation of compliance. To
SEND DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any
particular state visit http://pglaf.org
While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we

have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition
against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who
approach us with offers to donate.
International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make

any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from
outside the United States. U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff.
Please check the Project Gutenberg Web pages for current donation
methods and addresses. Donations are accepted in a number of other
ways including checks, online payments and credit card donations.
To donate, please visit: http://pglaf.org/donate
Section 5. General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic

works.
Professor Michael S. Hart is the originator of the Project Gutenberg-tm

concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared
with anyone. For thirty years, he produced and distributed Project
Gutenberg-tm eBooks with only a loose network of volunteer support.
BALL. 48
Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks are often created from several printed
editions, all of which are confirmed as Public Domain in the U.S.
unless a copyright notice is included. Thus, we do not necessarily
keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition.
Most people start at our Web site which has the main PG search facility:
http://www.gutenberg.org
This Web site includes information about Project Gutenberg-tm,

including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary
Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to
subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks.

Pictures and Rhymes

You little girl,

You little boy,

With wondering eyes,

That kindly look,

Two noble names

I send the offering

BLUE SHOES. HAPPY DAYS.

STREET SHOW. THE LITTLE QUEEN'S COMING.

TO THE SUN DOOR. ON THE WALL TOP.

THE DAISIES. ON THE WALL TOP.

THE DANCING FAMILY. TIP-A-TOE.

GOING TO SEE GRANDMAMMA. MAMMAS AND BABIES.

WISHES. MY LITTLE GIRLIE.

FIRST ARRIVALS. THE CATS HAVE COME TO TEA.

WHEN WE WENT OUT WITH GRANDMAMMA. THE TEA PARTY.

TO MYSTERY LAND. UNDER ROSE ARCHES.

FROM MARKET. A GENTEEL FAMILY.

LITTLE PHILLIS. BABY MINE.

THE FOUR PRINCESSES. LITTLE GIRLS AND LITTLE LAMBS.

WHEN YOU AND I GROW UP. FROM WONDER WORLD.

IN AN APPLE TREE. CHILD'S SONG.

THE WEDDING BELLS. MISS MOLLY AND THE LITTLE FISHES.

THE LITTLE LONDON GIRL. THE LITTLE JUMPING GIRLS.

WILLY AND HIS SISTER. ON THE BRIDGE.

How do you do?

Please may I go for a walk with you?

Where shall we go?

Down in the meadow where the cowslips grow!

Very far alone, you know

Else she'll fall down,

Or, lose her way;

Would mamma say?

Better put her little hand

Under sister's wise command.

When she's a little older grown

Blue Shoes may go quite alone.

One—two—three, the Cat runs up the tree;

But the little Bird he flies away—

"She hasn't got me!"

TO THE SUN DOOR.

They saw it set at night,

And they longed to go and see it,

Ah! if they only might.

The little soft white clouds heard them,

And stepped from out of the blue;

And each laid a little child softly

Upon its bosom of dew.

And they carried them higher and higher,

And they nothing knew any more

Until they were standing waiting

In front of the round gold door.

And they knocked, and called, and entreated,

Whoever should be within;

But all to no purpose, for no one

Would hearken to let them in.

You very fine Miss Molly, Perhaps you take a

Of their little friends to-day? Or two little daisies

Were fond of one

THE DANCING FAMILY.

This little dancing family;

For morning, afternoon, and night

And no one could think—oh, no one could think—
