Oh, if you were a little boy,

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;
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;
And no longer all alone Wonder what the dance and game;

"You should have seen," said Grandmamma, They learnt to sew and needlework,
She told us—oh, so often— She said her mother never let
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;
[17]
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
So naughty again.

AT SCHOOL. 24
The Project Gutenberg eBook of Marigold Garden, by Kate Greenaway
I know all the girls will be smart who are there.
That all her friends love her, and wish her so happy,
[33]
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 to greet and to meet. When the sound of our singing rings down the
street.

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?
[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,
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!

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.
