1. "Pretty birds, pretty birds, what do you play, Flying about in the leafy spray!" "Little maid, little man, can't you guess? Every one comes in a tidy dress; Everyone cheerfully keeps the rule; We merry birds are playing school." 2. "Butterflies winging from rose to rose, What are you playing? there, no one knows." "Little maid, little man, oh! 'tis fun, Roaming and sporting till set of sun: Roses and lilies so white and neat, 'Mong these we play at hide and seek." 3. "Gay breezes tossing the leaves about, What are you playing at when you're out?" "Little maid, little man, come and see: Here we go racing from tree to tree; Oh, it is jolly! we never flag; This is our merriest game of tag." 4. "Grasshoppers out in the meadow so sweet, What do you play with your nimble feet?" "Little maid, little man, one, two, three; Hipperty, hopperty, can't catch me! Oh, such a merry, delightful game! Hop-scotch you young folks call its name." |
