THREE CHILDREN SLIDING
Reading edition
Three children sliding on the ice Upon a summer's day, As it fell out, they all fell in, The rest they ran away. O! had these children been at school, Or sliding on dry ground, Ten thousand pounds to one penny They had not then been drown'd. Ye parents who have children dear, And eke ye that have none, If you would have them safe abroad, Pray keep them safe at home.
