Rose of Affection

Excerpt

“Let us buy,”
Said Sally Fry,
“Something nice,”
Said Betsy Price,
“What shall it be,”
Said Kitty Lee,
“A nice plum cake,”
Said Lucy Wake.

Which will you have, the doll, or Noah’s Ark? said mother to Mary one day.

The doll, if you please, I think I will take, for then I can prettily play.

One day John said, as he made his bow,
“Mamma, are you at leisure now?
Tell me, for much I wish to know,
Tell me, do pins and needles grow?”

With a bound, see the ball go,
Now high in the air as hit it just so.
No catch is Jo.; oh, how he lingers,
He’ll soon have the name of old butter fingers.

Oh, what a pretty butterfly,
How beautiful its wings,
How quick it flies! now low, now high,
From flower to flower it springs.

Oh, bless me, Mary, how is this?
Your hands are very dirty, Miss,
I don’t expect such hands to see,
When you come in to dine with me.

Said good Mamma, “My Harry dear,
’Tis nine o’clock, and school time’s near,
Go comb your hair, and fetch your book,
And go to school with pleasant look.”

Hear me, my dear little son,
Go slow, and do not run,
Do you always make a rule,
To come straight home from school;
Try to learn your lessons well,
That you may learn to read and spell.
