A DEWDROP.
Littl e dr op of dew, Like a ge m yo u are ; I believe tha t yo u
Mus t ha ve been a star .
When the day is br ight, On the gra ss yo u li e ; Tell m e then, at night
Are yo u i n the sky
BEES.
Bee s don’ t car e a bout the snow ;
I can tell yo u why that ’ s so
On ce I caught a littl e bee
Who was m uch too wa rm fo r me !
Baa, baa , blac k sheep, Have yo u an y wool ?
Y e s, marry, have I, Thr ee bags ful l ;
14 BEES.
On e fo r my mas te r, And one fo r my dame, But none fo r the littl e boy
Who cries i n the l ane .
Bl ess yo u , bl ess yo u , bum ia be e ;
Say, when wi ll you r wedding be
If i t be to - morr ow day,
Take you r Wi n gs an d fly a way.
BOW, wo w, wow, Whose dog a rt thou
Little To m Tinker ’ s do g,
BOW, wow, WOW.
Bye , baby bu nt ing,
Daddy ’ s gone a - h unting,
To get a littl e r abbit skin
To wrap the baby bunting in .
Star light, star bright,
Fi r st star I se e to - night ;

Have the wis h I wish to night .
