Little Wideawake: A story book for little children

by Mrs. Sale Barker

1.

Overhead on the boughs you may see me,

I’m off in a flash if you tease;

And I swing on the green twig above you,

As it gracefully bends to the breeze.

All the sweet summer time I am playing,

And cutting up capers so queer;

’Tis the happiest season for squirrels,

The holiday time of the year.
