Rabbit's foot and wing of bee—
Witches, witches, none for me.
JUST LIKE OTHER CHILDREN
Two little Gobolinks one day
Were sent to do the dishes,
Instead of which they ran away
And fished for shadow-fishes.

Instead of which they ran away
And fished for shadow-fishes.
They fished and fished and fished and fished,
And but a leaf they caught, O,
And then they wished and wished and wished
They'd done the thing they ought to.

And then they wished and wished and wished
They'd done the thing they ought to.
So, by and by they homeward crept
With plumage drooping sadly,
And there they bowed their heads and wept
Because they felt so badly.

A SEA-DANCE
Two beautiful sponges one day
Joined hands with a haughty sting-ray,
And away danced the three
Through the depths of the sea
In a most irresponsible way.

THE SINGERS
These ducks have voices sweet to hear,
And frequently before us
They stretch their mouths from ear to ear,
And sing to us in chorus.

THE BIRDS AND THE WIRE
Upon the quivering wire,
As hearkening to a lyre,
The sparrows gather at the break of day.
Perhaps that vibrant string
Is tuned that they may sing
An anthem to the glories of the May.
