T think

It is very nice to it or meat and drink,

With little children saying grace
In every Christian kind of place.

AT THE SEA-SIDE

'HEN I was down beside the sea

WHE

A wooden spade they gave to me To dig the sandy shore.

My holes were empty like a cup.
In every hole the sea came up,
Till it could come no more.

YOUNG NIGHT THOUGHT

LL night long and every night,

ALL

When my mama puts out the light,

I see the people marching by,

As plain as day, before my eye.

Armies and emperors and kings,
All carrying different kinds of things,
And marching in so grand a way,
You never saw the like by day.

So fine a show was never seen
At the great circus on the green;
For every kind of beast and man
Is marching in that caravan.

At first they move a little slow,
But still the faster on they go,
And still beside them close I keep
Until we reach the town of Sleep.

A

WHOLE DUTY OF CHILDREN

CHILD should always say what's true

And speak when he is spoken to,

And behave mannerly at table;

At least as far as he is able.

RAIN

HE rain is raining all around,

TH

It falls on field and tree,

It rains on the umbrellas here,
And on the ships at sea.
