IS IT YOU? THE DARLING LITTLE GIRL. WHO's the darling little girl Is as sweet as sweet can be. Who's the darling little girl Who's the darling little girl Who's the darling little girl MELODIES FOR CHILDHOOD. IS IT YOU? THERE is a child, a boy or girl, — I'm sorry it is true, - Who does n't mind when spoken to: Is it? it is n't you! O no, it can't be you! 33 Who struck a little playmate child : I hope that was n't you! There is a boy, I know a boy, A girl there is, — a girl I know, — And I could love her too, But that she is so proud and vain ; That surely is n't you! MRS. GOODWIN. THE ROBIN-REDBREASTS. Two Robin-redbreasts built their nests Within a hollow tree; GOOD MORNING. The hen sat quietly at home, And all the little young ones said: 66 Wee, wee, wee, wee, wee, wee." One day (the sun was warm and bright, Cock-robin said: "My little dears, I'll tell you by and by, When mamma says: "Do this," or "that," She says: "What for?" and "Why?" If she would say: "I'll try." 35 AUNT EFFIE'S RHYMES. 66 GOOD MORNING. "O, I am so happy!" a little girl said, As she sprang, like a lark, from her low trundle-bed; ""Tis morning, bright morning: good morning, papa. O give me one kiss for good morning, mamma : Only just look at my pretty canary, Chirping his sweet good morning to Mary. 36 GOOD MORNING. The sun is peeping straight into my eyes,- "Happy you may be, my dear little girl; Who wakened, this morning, both you and the sun." 66 Kneel, as you kneel every morning to pray." And two little hands, that were folded together, An angel looked down in the sunshine and smiled, But she saw not the angel, - - that beautiful child! GOD MADE ME. I WILL BE GOOD TO-DAY. "I WILL be good, dear mother," I heard a sweet child say ; "I will be good; now watch me, - She lifted up her bright young eyes, And when night came, that little one O, many, many bitter tears, 'T would save us, did we say, Like that dear child, with earnest heart: GOD MADE ME. I NOW am but a little child; My hands are weak, my strength is small; Yet I can seek, and I can love, The Lord Almighty, God of all. 37 |
