JANE.
A little girl, With hair a-curl, Came tripping down the lane ; The violet* iweet, Beneath her feet, All wished their name were Jane. The rotes red, That touched her head, As she tripped down the lan*. Dropped down their leaves In blushing sheavf r, Because they envied Jane. The pretty birds, In nature? words, Sang in the If afy lane Their morning sour, With some notes wronsr, For watching little Jane. The lofty trees Bent in the breeze Which swept acrois the lane, And curtsied low, With stately show. To merry little Jane. The very sky, With archway high, Above her in the lane. • To tell you true, Was looking blue, Because it was not Jane.
