THERE was a man in double deed, | And when the sky began to roar, Who sowed his garden full of seed, 'Twas like a lion at the door; And when the seed began to grow, And when the door began to crack, "Twas like a garden full of snow; 'Twas like a stick across your back; And when the snow began to fall, And when your back began to smart, 'Twas like a bird upon the wall; 'Twas like a pen-knife in your heart; And when the bird away did fly, And when your heart began to bleed, 'Twas like an eagle in the sky; You're dead, and dead, and dead, in deed. THE Queen of Hearts, She made some tarts, All on a summer's day ; Aud took them clean away. The King of Hearts And beat the Knave full sore, And vow'd he steal no more. THE lion and the uni corn Were fighting for the crown, Some gave them white bread, And some gave them brown; Some gave them plum cake, And sent them out of town. THE north wind doth blow, And we shall have snow, And what will poor Robin do then ? Poor thing! He'll sit in a barn, Poor thing! |
