LITTLE BIRDIE WHAT does little birdie say, In her nest at peep of day? "Let me fly," says little birdie, "Birdie, rest a little longer, What does little baby say, ALFRED TENNYSON. LITTLE WHITE LILY LITTLE white Lily Sat by a stone, Drooping and waiting Little white Lily Said, "It is good; Little white Lily Drest like a bride! Little white Lily Droopeth with pain, Waiting and waiting For the wet rain. Little white Lily Holdeth her cup; Rain is fast falling And filling it up. LITTLE THINGS LITTLE drops of water, Little grains of sand, Make the mighty ocean Thus the little minutes, Of eternity. Thus our little errors Lead the soul away From the path of virtue Off in sin to stray. Little deeds of kindness, Little words of love, Make this earth an Eden, Like the heaven above. ANONYMOUS. LITTLE BO-PEEP LITTLE Bo-Peep has lost her sheep, And can't tell where to find them; Leave them alone and they'll come home, Little Bo-peep fell fast asleep, And dreamed she heard them bleating; But when she awoke she found it a joke, For they were still a-fleeting. Then up she took her little crook, Determined for to find them; She found them indeed, but it made her heart bleed, For they'd left their tails behind 'em. MOTHER Goose. |
