A Jolly Jingle-Book

E-text prepared by Al Haines

How can they put in black and white What little children think at night, When lights are out and prayers are said, And you are all tucked up in bed?
Such funny dreams go dancing through Your head, of things nobody knew, Or saw, or ever half believes!— They're all inside these singing leaves.
And little children laugh and go A-ring-a-round-a-rosy-O; And birds sing gay—you'd almost think You listened to a bobolink.
Look at the pictures, one by one! The rhymes are only half the fun. It laughs and bubbles like a brook— My pretty, jolly jingle-book!

A little red man in a little red house With gates of ivory! He might stay there, as still as a mouse, And nobody could see; But talk he will, and laugh he will, At everything you do; And come to the door and peep, until I know his name—don't you?

Here's a kiss for every year, And here is one to grow on! Father says and mother says And auntie says, and so on.
Here's a pat and there's a pat! If growing comes of kisses, I know how one girl found a way To grow as big as this is!
