Ballads for little folk . MAKE-BELIEVE. All upon a summer day, Seven children, girls and boys, Raking in the meadow hay, Waked the echoes with their noise. You must know them by their names Fanny Field and Mary,Benjamin and Susan James, Joe and John MClary. Then a child, so very small,She was only come for play —Little Miss Matilda May, And you have them, one and all. Twas a pretty sight to see —Seven girls and boys together Raking in the summer weather,Merry as they well could be ! But one lad that we must ownMany a lad has represented,Doing well, was not contented To let well enough alone !
