A HAPPY PARTY.
Reading edition
In the quiet summer evening, The children gather round, While granny reads aloud to them With voice of pleasant sound.
A happy cheerful party, Indeed we all must say;— Both granny and the children Enjoy the close of day.
Katrina stands beside her; Lina’s knitting at her feet; Karl feeds himself, and Faust the dog, With bread and jam—a treat!
Even pussy and the dicky-birds Seem pleased and quiet too: I think, my little children, Indeed, and so would you.
