This stands
Firm, and strong
Another one
We'll build hereon.

Keep away,
Now we'll see,
If 'twill hold
A number three.

Try another,
One more,
Raise it to
A fourth floor.

Yet another;
Oh, what fun!
That's too many--
Down they come.


THE FIRST VALENTINE.


Rat-tat at the door! Rat-tat at the door!
Here are valentines one, two, three;
There is one for Harry, and one for Will,
And a big one for girlie, see!
