Four little birds all flew from their nest—
Flew north, flew south, flew east and west;
They thought they would like a wider view,
So they spread their wings and away they flew.
IN THE BASKET
Hark! do you hear my basket
Go "kippy! kippy! peek"?
Maybe my funny basket
Is learning how to speak.
If you want to know the secret,
Go ask the speckled hen,
And tell her when I've warmed them
I'll bring them back again.
COUSIN JEREMY
He came behind me and covered my eyes;
"Who is this?" growled he, so sly.
"Why, Cousin Jeremy, how can I tell,
When my eyes are shut?" said I.
