| "| HOUGHTFUL Rosy

UR Rosy was tired of frolic and play
At two o’clock in the afternoon,
So down on the sofa to rest she lay,
And to think, perhaps, of the man in the moon;
Or was it the mountains in the moon?
Or the clouds that sail so soft and white?
Whatever she thought of I do not know,
But I do know the old Dream Sprite.

ND there he stood at the Sandman’s side,
; At two o’clock in the afternoon.

His red umbrella was open wide,
And I said to him, ‘‘Why have you come so soon?”

He pointed to Rose, and his quiet face
Was radiant with a gracious smile,

. As to my question he replied
2 “This baby and I will think awhile.”

  

epee

OW if ever you're tired of work or play,
Even tho’ it’s daytime and only two,
Lie down to think as Rosy did,-
And the Dream Sprite will come and think with you.
