Then he came and stood by his mother’s side,
And asked for a kiss, which she denied ;
While he promised, with many a penitent sigh,
That he never would tell another lie.

So she bade him before her kneel gently down,
And took his soft hands within her own ;

And she kissed his cheek as he looked on high
And prayed to be pardoned for telling that lie.

BUSY BEE.
How doth the little busy bee
Improve each shining hour,
And gather honey all the day,
From every opening flower.

Songs.
