THE RAINBOW.

My heart leaps up when I behold

A rainbow in the sky;

So was it when my life began,

So is it now I am a man,

So be it when I shall grow old,

Or let me die!

The child is father of the man;

And I could wish my days to be

Bound each to each by natural piety.

—William Wordsworth.

Hey! Diddle, Diddle.

Hey! diddle, diddle, the cat and the fiddle,

The cow jumped over the moon;

The little dog laughed to see such sport,

And the dish ran away with the spoon.

Little Jack Jingle,

He used to live single;

But when he got tired of this kind of life,

He left off being single, and lived with his wife.

Cock Robin got up early

At the break of day,

And went to Jenny’s window,

To sing a roundelay.

He sang Cock Robin’s Love

To the pretty Jenny Wren,

And when he got unto the end,

Then he began again.

Pussy-cat, pussy-cat, where have you been?

“I’ve been up to London to look at the Queen.”

Pussy-cat, pussy-cat, what did you there?

“I frightened a little mouse under the chair.”
