A TREASURY OF STORIES, JINGLES AND RHYMES.

GERMAN CHILD.

pou as ripe September peach
(On the bough just out of reach),

Cheerful as September sun

When the bravest work is done,

Bright your face as morning sky!

Liebling-—darling—why so shy?

Simple little German maid,
With your cap and flaxen braid,
Snowy kerchief smooth and neat,
Wooden shoes upon your feet—
Lift to mine your modest eye—
Liebling——larling—why so shy ?
