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!
