MISS MOLLY AND THE LITTLE FISHES. Oh, sweet Miss Molly, You're so fond Of Fishes in a little Pond. And perhaps they're glad To see you stare With such bright eyes Upon them there. And when your fingers and your thumbs Drop slowly in the small white crumbs I hope they're happy. Only this— When you've looked long enough, sweet miss. Then, most beneficent young giver, Restore them to their native river.

THE LITTLE JUMPING GIRLS.

Jump—jump—jump—

Jump away

From this town into

The next, to-day.

Jump—jump—jump—

Jump over the moon;

Jump all the morning,

And all the noon.

[51]

Jump—jump—jump—

Jump all night;

Won't our mothers

Be in a fright?

Jump—jump—jump—

Over the sea;

What wonderful wonders

We shall see.

Jump—jump—jump—

And leave behind

Everything evil

That we may find.

Jump—jump—jump—

Jump far away;

And all come home

Some other day.
