Maud Müller on the Ice.

Maud Müller on a winter’s day

Went out upon the ice to play.

Beneath her Derby gleamed her locks

Of her red banged hair, and her crimson socks.

She straddled about from ten to two

And then a hole in the ice fell through.

On the bottom of the pond she sat

As wet and mad as a half drowned rat.

A man with a hicking pole went there
