ut comes little pussyTossing them about; Baby calls, Go way now !With a little pout. Summer sun grows warmer; Baby tires with play;Down upon the green grass Fast asleep she lay; Daisies all about her, Sunshine overhead,Pussy nestled closely In this summer bed. HOW THE BABY WAS NAMED. Mother from her washingComes, and finds her there With the wide-eyed daisiesNestling in her hair. Then was Baby christenedIn the summer sweet; Now, no longer Baby,But sweet Marguerite. THE WINDOW-PANE TREE. With her warm little finger, Gold Locks wroteOn the icy window-pane A note. tl Make me a Christmas-tree, It read ;It was signed with a flourish, Yours, Gold Head. Then out came the sunlightsSparkling ray; THE WINDOW-PANE TREE. It melted the messageAll away. But the very next morning, Lo! behold!On the glass of the window, White and cold, Was a tapering fir-tree,Weighed with snow, Spire-like at the top,And broad below. Cried out little Gold Locks, See, oh, see !Jack Frost has painted My Christmas-tree !

BIRDS IN WINTER. Come now, little birds, You must stop in your play,The snows coming down, You must hide you away. You must huddle togetherAnd keep yourselves warm, In snug nooks and cornersShut out from the storm. Be patient and wait,The clouds will go by, And sunshine once moreWill brighten the sky. BIRDS IN WINTER.
