    In winter I get up ot night
    And dress by yellow candle-light.
    In summer, quite the other way,
    I hove to go to bed by day.

    I have to go to bed and see


    The birds still hopping on the tree,
    Or hear the grown-up peoples feet
    Still going past me in the street.

    And does' it not seem hard to you,


    When all the sky is clear and blue,
    And I should like so much to play,
    To have to go to bed by day?

    JENNY ‘WREN

    'Twas on a merry time, when Jenny Wren was young,


    So daintily she danced and so prettily she sung,
    Robin Redbreast lost his heart, for he was a gallant bird,
    So he doffed his hat to Jenny Wren, requesting to be heard.

    "Oh, dearest Jenny Wren, if you will be but mine.


    You shall feed on cherry pie and drink new currant wine,
    i'll dress you like a goldfinch or any peacock gay.
    So dearest Jen, if you'll be mine, let us appoint the day."

    Jenny blushed behind her fan and thus declared her mind:
    "Since, dearest Bob, I love you well, i'll take your offer kind.
