And they danced a measure light,
Danced in very glee.
Hand in hand, a pretty sight,
Little He and She.
When they ceased his bright eyes fell,
Darling must we stay?
Can’t we dance so happily
You and I for aye?
Then she clasped his hand again,
Whispered sweet and low,
“Dearest, always hand in hand
You and I will go.”
So they danced with merry feet,
E’en in Arcadee,
Happier pair you ne’er will meet,
Little He and She.
LITTLE BO-PEEP.
LITTLE Bo-peep has lost her Sheep,
(It’s a secret to you I’m confiding.)
At the end of the shelf,
Where she put them herself
Her Baa-lambs are safely hiding.
If you put a thing carefully, safely away,
You’re sure not to find it when wanted next day.
