song,
Hurrah ho!
Swing swong,
Here we go;
Hold in strong,
Hurrah ho!
Swing swong,
Here we go;
Fly along,
Hurrah ho!
WORK AND PLAY.
Come let us take a walk,--
The rain has gone away,--
And have some pleasant talk,
And laugh, and sing, and play.
The old hen dries her wings,
The young lambs frisk away
The merry sparrow sings;
Come let us go and play.
The brook runs gayly on
As though it were in play,
And says to every one,
"Let's have some fun to-day."
The little busy bee
Doth sing and work all day,
And teaches you and me
To work as well as play.
The world is full of flowers;
Put up your work, I say;
Let's use these limbs of ours
And have some real play.
LITTLE MARY.
Little Mary was good;
The weather was fair;
She went with her mother
To taste the fresh air.
The birds they were singing;
Mary chatted away;
And she was as happy
And merry as they.
IT CAN'T BE SO.
A boy once went the world around,
Till he a golden castle found;
Then laughed the boy,
Then thought the boy,
"O, were that golden castle mine,
How brightly then my house would shine!"
O, no! O, no! O, no!
My little boy, it can't be so.
Again he went the world around,
Till he a flying pony found;
Then laughed the boy,
Then thought the boy,
"O, were that flying pony mine,
Then I should be a horseman fine."
O, no! O, no! O, no!
My little boy, it can't be so.
WHEN EVENING IS COME.
When evening is come,
And father's at home,
Mother says that we may
Have a go-to-bed play.
A book he will bring us,
A song he will sing us,
A story he'll tell us,
He'll make believe sell us.
And we will cut papers,
And all sorts of capers,
And laugh, dance, and play,
And frolic away,
When evening is come,
And father's at home.
RINGELY RINGELY.
Ringely ringely dah-re-roon,
My baby has slept till almost noon,
Ringely ringely dah-re-roon,
My baby shall have his breakfast soon.
Ringely ringely dah-re-roon,
Here is his milk and here is his spoon,
Ringely ringely dah-re-roon,
He'll be a month older when comes next moon.
CHARLIE BOY.
O, look at my hat;
How nicely it suits!
O, look at my feet;
I've got on new boots!
Hurrah! for Charlie boy.
My bo
