In the Nursery

BUT-TER-CUP, THE BOS-SY.

Reading edition

["HERE WE'LL WAIT!"]

Illustration from In the Nursery: Happy Hours for the Little Ones

The lit-tle new bos-sy is so red, Al-most the col-or of a clo-ver-head! Lit-tle red But-ter-cup, lit-tle red But-ter-cup— This is the path she will come up. Here we'll wait at the mead-ow gate For half an hour, at an-y rate, Till, kling-i-ty-kling, the cow-bells ring, And we catch a glimpse of the pret-ty thing. From the top-most bar, for ev-er so far, We see to the green field where they are; O, But-ter-cup, But-ter-cup, lit-tle red But-ter-cup! This is the path she will come up.
