LESSON XXIX.

Reading edition

Illustration from McGuffey's Second Eclectic Reader

THE LITTLE HILL.

Run, run, thou tiny rill; Run, and turn the village mill; Run, and fill the deep, clear pool In the woodland's shade so cool, Where the sheep love best to stray In the sultry summer day; Where the wild birds bathe and drink, And the wild flowers fringe the brink.

Mill, with mill pond in foreground.

Run, run, thou tiny rill, Round the rocks, and down the hill; Sing to every child like me; The birds will join you, full of glee: And we will listen to the song You sing, your rippling course along.

Explore with AITake your curiosity a little further.
