LITTLE DOCTOR MAY.
Reading edition
Little Daisy playing 'Mid the ripening corn, Pierced her plump white finger With a cruel thorn. Home she flies, eyes clouded With a mist of tears; Little bosom trembling With vague childlike fears. Brother Leonard lifts her Lightly from the ground; May, beside her kneeling, Tends the swelling wound. Softly takes a needle— Knows what she's about— Pricks, and lo! the hidden Thorn slips safely out. Daisy's fears have vanished, Tears are passed away— Leonard dubs his sister Little Doctor May.
