DEDICATION.

——-<$ 3-> ——_-

IN NCE upon a time,

(And that was long ago!)

These little songs were written
For four small things I know.



Alice, with her blue eye
Opened very wide,

Would ask to have the music,
And nestle to my side,

Arthur clarnours loudly,
“Sing the songs again!
Yes, sing about the Miller,
And people in the rain!”

That long story ended,
Harry, four years cld,

Wants the “ Will-o’-the-wisp,”
That led the search for gold.

Baby claps her handies,
Crows her childish laugh ;

She always likes the story
About the tall Giraffe.

Well, the little ditties
That pleased those children four,
Are printed now, and offered...
To many children more. “<"

And if they take the jingles,
As kindly as they're meant,

‘The writer can assure them
That he is quite content.

W. M

So, to please him, the gracious Giraffe,
Jumped over a Cow and her Calf;

But when the old Tapir

Told folks of this caper,
They said, “That’s just some of your chaff :-—

“He's a dignified chap, that Giraffe,

And we know he does nothing by half;
We can understand how
He might jump o’er a Cow,

But hed ever jump over a Calf!”

They found a house all hushed and dark,
Save for one window high,

Whence stray’d the beam of golden light
That they were guided by!

The Donkey, as the tallest, tried
To stand and peep within ;

But nay! the window proved too high,
And great was his chagrin!

Then, mounting on the Donkey’s back.
The Dog essayed to see;

But still the window was too high,
And quite dismay’d was he!

The Pussy Cat next volunteered
Upon the Dog to stand;

Yet even she, upon his back,
The distance had not spanned !

Oh, what alarm the thieves were in, And so they feasted well, and slept

They scatter’d to a man! Until the following day,

As soon as, at a signal given, When being all thereby refreshed,

The concert first began. They went upon their way.

They hither ran, they thither ran, To Bremen, strolling slowly on,

As never men before, At last the travellers came,

While Donkey and his company
Walked in and shut the door.

And there, by giving concerts, all

Attained to lasting fame!

Then the younger answered qflickly, glancing

sideways to the right,
“We've been telling dreadful stories about ghosts
who dress in white;
Till at last a sleepy feeling
Over both of us came stealing,
For we thought we almost saw them, looking
at us through the light,
Disappearing in the light!”
(25)



See eel

Then I said, “My little laddie, and my golden-
hair’d Louise,
Every heart may have its phantoms, have its
ghosts and lovely elves ;
But the ones whe bring a blessing,
And the ones most worth possessing,
Only come and live with people who are levely
like themselves,

Good and lovely like themselves.”

“P11 butt it, butt it, butt it,
And butt it into butter!”

“Tl give a good one this time!” so
He rushed again with head down low;
“Pll butt it, butt it, butt it!”
(He then began to mutter)

“T'll butt it, butt it, butt it,

“TI really can’t stop here all day,
Perhaps I’d better clear away ;

I do not care to butt it!”



(He then began to mutter)
“But if I cared to butt it,
I’d butt it into butter!”

But lo! the swing came down behind,
And made the goat his level find;
So, as he tumbled over
And rolled into the gutter,
He said, “I’d better drop it,
This is an awful butter!”

DEDICATION.

——-<$ 3-> ——_-

IN NCE upon a time,

(And that was long ago!)

These little songs were written
For four small things I know.



Alice, with her blue eye
Opened very wide,

Would ask to have the music,
And nestle to my side,

Arthur clarnours loudly,
“Sing the songs again!
Yes, sing about the Miller,
And people in the rain!”

That long story ended,
Harry, four years cld,

Wants the “ Will-o’-the-wisp,”
That led the search for gold.

Baby claps her handies,
Crows her childish laugh ;

She always likes the story
About the tall Giraffe.

Well, the little ditties
That pleased those children four,
Are printed now, and offered...
To many children more. “<"

And if they take the jingles,
As kindly as they're meant,

‘The writer can assure them
That he is quite content.

So, to please him, the gracious Giraffe,
Jumped over a Cow and her Calf;

But when the old Tapir

Told folks of this caper,
They said, “That’s just some of your chaff :-—

“He's a dignified chap, that Giraffe,

And we know he does nothing by half;
We can understand how
He might jump o’er a Cow,

But hed ever jump over a Calf!”

They found a house all hushed and dark,
Save for one window high,

Whence stray’d the beam of golden light
That they were guided by!

The Donkey, as the tallest, tried
To stand and peep within ;

But nay! the window proved too high,
And great was his chagrin!

Then, mounting on the Donkey’s back.
The Dog essayed to see;

But still the window was too high,
And quite dismay’d was he!

The Pussy Cat next volunteered
Upon the Dog to stand;

Yet even she, upon his back,
The distance had not spanned !

Oh, what alarm the thieves were in, And so they feasted well, and slept

They scatter’d to a man! Until the following day,

As soon as, at a signal given, When being all thereby refreshed,

The concert first began. They went upon their way.

They hither ran, they thither ran, To Bremen, strolling slowly on,

As never men before, At last the travellers came,

While Donkey and his company
Walked in and shut the door.

And there, by giving concerts, all

Attained to lasting fame!

Then the younger answered qflickly, glancing

sideways to the right,
“We've been telling dreadful stories about ghosts
who dress in white;
Till at last a sleepy feeling
Over both of us came stealing,
For we thought we almost saw them, looking
at us through the light,
Disappearing in the light!”
(25)



See eel

Then I said, “My little laddie, and my golden-
hair’d Louise,
Every heart may have its phantoms, have its
ghosts and lovely elves ;
But the ones whe bring a blessing,
And the ones most worth possessing,
Only come and live with people who are levely
like themselves,

Good and lovely like themselves.”

“Tl give a good one this time!” so
He rushed again with head down low;

(He then began to mutter)

“T'll butt it, butt it, butt it,

“TI really can’t stop here all day,
Perhaps I’d better clear away ;

I do not care to butt it!”



(He then began to mutter)
“But if I cared to butt it,
I’d butt it into butter!”

But lo! the swing came down behind,
And made the goat his level find;
So, as he tumbled over
And rolled into the gutter,
He said, “I’d better drop it,
This is an awful butter!”
