Laugh at It!
When you hear the merry rain Patter at the window-pane, Think 'twill soon be fine again; So laugh at it!
If you chance to tumble down, Though you bump your little crown, Never cry or pout or frown, Just laugh at it!
When the sum is hard to do, Rub it out and try anew; When you get the answer true You'll laugh at it!

The Dancing Academy
This is the way, on a rainy day, We teach our dolls to dance— The doll in blue, and the Scotchman true, And Lady Belle from France. It's heel and toe and it's to and fro, They all can do it well; But the best of all our pupils small Is darling Lady Belle!
