THIRD STANDARD.

THE PEDLAR'S CARAVAN.

I WISH I lived in a caravan,

With a horse to drive, like the pedlar-man!
Where he comes from nobody knows,

Or where he goes to, but on he goes!

His caravan has windows two,

And a chimney of tin that the smoke comes through; He has a wife, with a baby brown,

And they go riding from town to town.

Chairs to mend, and delf to sell!
He clashes the basins like a bell,
Tea-trays, baskets, ranged in order,

Plates with the alphabet round the border!

The roads are brown, and the sea is green,
But his house is just like a bathing-machine;
The world is round, and he can ride,
Rumble and splash, to the other side!
