St Nicholas [serial] . gle house that s new;Steep red-tiled roofs against the blue, And curtained windows neat;And, at the corner, from a towerA clock looks down through sun and showerAnd condescends to strike the hour For Little Dumpling Street. I know the finest cooks live thereAnd make that ancient thoroughfareA place to seek, and fill the air With odors kitchen fires are all aglow,Those jolly cooks run to and froAnd set the hot loaves in a row For Little Dumpling Street. Such puddings full of plums, such pies,Such griddle-cakes of mammoth size;Such creams and custards please the eyes, And tempt the mouth to eat;For quince preserves, and damson jam,And currant loaf, and chops of lamb,And orange cake, and roasted ham. They cook in Dumpling Street. The people in that city fair May eat and drink without a care. I know no breakfast foods are there Made out of oats and wish my luck would carry meOn some swift boat across the seaTo Rothenberg in Germany And Little Dumpling Street.
