LITTLE ONES AT HOME. 151

 

Why is Sarah standing there,
Leaning down upon a chair,

With such an angry lip and brow?
I wonder what’s the matter now.

Come here, my dear, and tell me true ;
Is it because I spoke to you

About the work you’d done so slow,
That you are standing fretting so?

Why, then indeed I’m grieved to see
That you can so ill-tempered be.

You make your fault a great deal worse
By being angry and perverse.
