Mother's been staying with Granny—
She’s coming home to-day!

We've gathered all the flowers we can find
To make the house look gay.

We've swept and dusted the parlor,
And scrubbed the kitchen floor,

And hung all the pots on their proper nails, . &
And put “WELCOME,” on the door.

We've got out the very best china,
And the tray with the painted rose—
How glad we are she is coming home
No one but mother knows.

 
 
  

And we'll put the water lilies
In a bowl on the table at tea,
And when mother comes
in at the open door,
They'll be the first
things she'll see.
