“Little Herb Robert, what makes you so pink? The daisy is taller and whiter.” “The sun came along, and, what do you think? It kissed me, and so I grew brighter.” “Grasshopper, why are you merry to-day?” “I always am glad, if you please, sir, Because I can hop on the clover and hay, Nor have to fly up in the trees, sir.” “Sea-weed, poor creature! you’re left high and dry, The tide has gone out; you are dying!” “Ah, no, I am sure ’twill come back by and by. I shall live, never fear; I’ll keep trying.” “Song-sparrow, how can you sing all the day?” “Sweet food to my young I am bringing, And when I am working for them, in this way, Of course I can never help singing.” “Child, leave the hot, dusty roadside, and come.” “I’d go, for I know that you love me; But, please, I’d rather stay here, near my home, For Papa’s in there, just above me.”
