What a fine turn out--from round about,
All the houses had let them out,
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?
What a lot of milk they would get through;
For here they were with "Mew--mew--mew!"
She didn't know--oh, she didn't know,
If bread and butter they'd like or no;
They might want little mice, oh! oh! oh!
Dear me--oh, dear me,
All the cats had come to tea.

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.

UNDER ROSE ARCHES.
Under Rose Arches to Rose Town--
Rose Town on the top of the hill;
For the Summer wind blows and music goes,
And the violins sound shrill.
Twist and twine Roses and Lilies,
And little leaves green,
Fit for a queen;
Twist and twine Roses and Lilies.
Oh, Roses shall be for her carpet,
And her curtains of Roses so fair;
And a Rosy crown, while far adown
Floats her long golden hair.
