And one of those white ros-es,

And take your crown-im-pe-ri-al

To folks that have no nos-es."

[JOHN-NY'S LIT-TLE SIS-TER.]

"I'll take care of Sis-sy," said broth-er John-ny.

Ba-by was so sweet and ro-sy! Mam-ma had just dressed her, all white and fair. John-ny held out his arms for her. Mam-ma kissed both gold-en heads, and went out to get din-ner.

John-ny was ver-y proud to be trust-ed with his lit-tle sis-ter. He sat down with her in the great green ea-sy-chair, and put both arms round her.
