TO THE SUN DOOR. They saw it rise in the morning, They saw it set at night, And they longed to go and see it, Ah! if they only might. The little soft white clouds heard them, And stepped from out of the blue; And each laid a little child softly Upon its bosom of dew. And they carried them higher and higher, And they nothing knew any more Until they were standing waiting In front of the round gold door. And they knocked, and called, and entreated, Whoever should be within; But all to no purpose, for no one Would hearken to let them in.

THE DAISIES.



You very fine Miss Molly,

What will the daisies say,

If you carry home so many

Of their little friends to-day?

Perhaps you take a sister,

Perhaps you take a brother,

Or two little daisies who

Were fond of one another.

THE DANCING FAMILY. Pray let me introduce you to This little dancing family; For morning, afternoon, and night They danced away so happily. They twirled round about, They turned their toes out; The people wondered what the noise Could all be about. They danced from early morning, Till very late at night; Both in-doors and out-of-doors, With very great delight.
