THE CHILDRENS’ SHOES.
BY BLANCHE B. BAKER (nine years’ old).
FOUR pairs of little shoes.
All in a row;
Four pairs of little shoes
For to-morrow.
Four pairs of little shoes
Worn every day;
Four pairs of little shoes
Ready for play.
Four pairs of little shoes
By the fire’s glow;
Four pairs of little shoes
White at the toe.
Four pairs of little shoes
Travelling all day;
Four pairs of little shoes
Resting from play.
Four pairs of little shoes
Waiting for day;
Four pairs of little shoes
Never go astray!
