THE CUT.
Well, what’s the matter? there’s a face,
What, has it cut a vein?
And it is quite a shocking place;
Come, let us look again.
I see it bleeds, but never mind
That tiny little drop;
I don’t believe you’ll ever find
That crying makes it stop.
’Tis sad, indeed, to cry at pain,
For any but a baby;
If that should chance to cut a vein,
We should not wonder, may be.
But such a man as you should try
To bear a little sorrow:
So run along, and wipe your eye,
’Twill all be well to-morrow.
SLEEPY HARRY.
I do not like to go to bed,
The sleepy little Harry said;
So, naughty Betty, go away,
I will not come at all, I say.
