Mamma has just told me
To stay quite here,
And, oh, she will scold me,
If wakes, baby dear.
Hushaby, baby.
How soft its white arm,
As it lies on its breast,
Little baby no harm
Shall come while you rest,
Hushaby, hush.
My task has been given,
And I will be true,
And sister and Heaven
Will watch over you.
Hushaby, baby.
SCHOOL IS OUT.
School is out,
But do not shout;
School is done,
But do not run.
Put up your slate,
Neat and straight;
Make your bow,
If you know how.
Take your “spelling,”
To your dwelling,
Your “reading” too,
Keep clean and new.
Then go home,
And do not roam;
Your parents kiss,
In quietness.
Now run and play;
And so, “good day.”
