LESSON VII.

BABY BYE.

  1. Baby Bye,
    Here's a fly;
    We will watch him, you and I.
    How he crawls
    Up the walls,
    Yet he never falls!
    I believe with six such legs
    You and I could walk on eggs.
    There he goes
    On his toes,
    Tickling Baby's nose.
  2. Spots of red
    Dot his head;
    Rainbows on his back are spread;
    That small speck
    Is his neck;
    See him nod and beck!
    I can show you, if you choose,
    Where to look to find his shoes,
    Three small pairs,
    Made of hairs;
    These he always wears.
  3. Flies can see
    More than we;
    So how bright their eyes must be!
    Little fly,
    Ope your eye;
    Spiders are near by.
    For a secret I can tell,
    Spiders never use flies well;
    Then away,
    Do not stay.
    Little fly, good day.
