SONGS FOR THE

ED

And then he flies mtich more alert

   
 

Than butiarfly or bee ;
No lamb or kid is half so light,
So swift of foot as he.

 

WILLIE LOVES THE COUNTRY
Willie loves the country,
And pleased is he to go,
When wintry storms are over,
And cold winds cease to blow,

And with his dear papa

Trim up the shrubs and vines ;
Rejoiced that spring has come,

And the warm sun brightly shines.

He loves the clear blue sky,
And flowers of beauty wild ;
To see the grazing cow,
And lambs that look so mild.

He loves to go among
The fresh, sweet-scented hay,

‘And turn it o’er and o’er,
Before it goes away.

When evening dusk draws on,
Then does this little boy

Run out to gather eggs,

With fresh delight and joy.
