IIV HEUn YON KOSSENBVCII.
I jt.u- n leedle, leedle sohild, Dot Ways rait me, und zingn, Und often zoomdimes I am wild Because hhe's pot no vings. H ie vnnts to grapple tnit der moon. And longs to cchdeal der stars, Und when I inderroope her looa I qaik get« in der wan. A let die deemple joa will vind Oopon each cberry cheek ; Uml she has got a iplcndid mindShe is nod fery mcelr. Siio pokes her vinger in mem eyes, Uud pulla dosf> nose yon see, Uodven I in » bapsion tljcb, She only laughs mit mo. Zoom day berhaps she Till grow oop I'nd ler.f docs hsna ov mem ; S'nooftden I'll qunff der bitter coop", D«r Sun no more shall shine. She's like her moder beoples cay, " Dakes after her," 'us /et; I don't like lalkiu' in dot vay, Because dot vooraan's det. Und if Eatiina ohouM crow oop Like my debarted fruu, B<?rhapo my ppe«rita den mite droop — T cftnnoJ dell ehoost now. Bat if she should— veil, all I know Per vould be zoom mishap ; Und if she mtrrics her young beau, I pitica dot young chap. % or Gietchen vm » vait fool wifo Und hated vot vas wrorg ; Hit her I learned to valne life— Her arms vcr sdout und edron;?. I know, becauee I veela der weight More «9 dree timea a day ; My son in law may haf dot fate Ie he prowls roundt dis vay. Und yet how like der angels all Dofe f^iils abbear, mit sohmiles: Dor'H 7oomdinß mit dem dot I call Zooberb— l hko der wiles. I liko to dwell oopon der lipi, [;t Boetsdot 1 know; But when men haf not got der "chipa," J).r lofe grows ferj low. I nd yet I bat a lecdlo schild, Dot blayfi mit me, und zingi, Ui d often zoomdimcß I am wild Became bhe's got no vinga. yhc 11 provo an angel I've no doubt To zoom most happy j'outh ; Bi.t when nho's married, I'll fiad oudt U iacUy d*r trcoth.
