And while on her pillow she softly lay,
She knew nothing more till again it was day;
And all things said to the beautiful sun,
"Good-morning! good-morning! our work is begun."

A DEAR LITTLE GRANNY.


I want to be your granny--
Granny, granny dear;
Do you think in glasses
I'm anything like near?

Would you take me for her
If I wore her cap;
Told you pretty stories,
Took you in my lap?

Gave you lots of sweeties,
Cakes and apples too?
That's the way that grannies,
Dear old grannies do!
