=================================
RING-A-RING.
Ring-a-ring of little boys.
Ring-a-ring of girls;
All around--all around,
Twists and twirls.
[Illustration]
You are merry children;
"Yes, we are."
Where do you come from?
"Not very far.
"We live in the mountain,
We live in the tree;
And I live in the river-bed,
And you won't catch me!"
=================================
[Illustration]
ON THE BRIDGE.
If I could see a little fish--
That is what I just now wish!
I want to see his great round eyes
Always open in surprise.
I wish a water rat would glide
Slowly to the other side;
Or a dancing spider sit
On the yellow flags a bit.
I think I'll get some stones to throw,
And watch the pretty circles show.
Or shall we sail a flower-boat,
And watch it slowly--slowly float?
That's nice--because you never know
How far away it means to go;
And when to-morrow comes, you see,
It may be in the great wide sea.
=================================
[Illustration]
BALL.
One--two, is one to you:
One--two--three, is one to me.
Throw it fast or not at all,
And mind you do not let it fall.
Fairy Blue Eyes
And Fairy Brown,
And dear little Golden Curls,
Look down.
I say "Good-bye"--
"Good-bye" with no pain--
Till some happy day
We meet again!
