LEAFLET LVII
JACK-IN-THE-PULPIT.[75]
By ALICE G. McCLOSKEY.
They call him Jack-in-the-Pulpit, he stands up so stiff and so queer
On the edge of the swamp, and waits for the flower-folk to come and hear
The text and the sermon, and all the grave things that he has to say;
But the blossoms they laugh and they dance, they are wilder than ever to-day;
