Moore. THE HOLIDAY Come out, come out, for merry play:This is the pleasant month of June,And we will go this afternoon Over the hills and far away. Hurrah! well have a holiday; And through the wood and up the gladeWell go in sunshine and in shade Over the hills and far The Holiday THE NEW YORK JBLIC LIBRARY] ASTOR, LENOXllTILDLN E C The Girl Who Cried 201 The wild rose blooms upon the spray; In all the sky is not a cloud; And merry birds are singing loudOver the hills and far away. Not one of us behind must stay;But little ones and all shall go,Where summer breezes gently blow, Over the hills and far away. Mrs. Hawtry. THE GIRL WHO CRIED Winifred Waters sat and sighed Under a weeping willow;When she went to bed she cried, Wetting all the pillow. Kept on crying night and day, Till her friends lost patience; What shall we do to stop her, pray? So said her relations. Send her to the sandy plains, In the zone called torrid:Send her where it never rains, Where the heat is horrid! Mind that she has only flour For her daily feeding;Let her have a page an hour Of the dryest reading. Little Folks Book of Verse When the poor girl has endured Six months of this drying,Winifred will come back cured, Let us hope, of crying.
