Clara Doty Bates HAPPINESS WHAT are you thinking of, my pretty maid?Im thinking how happy I am, she what is your happiness, my pretty maid? 40 THE BIRD AND ITS NEST Oh, flowers, and summer, and sunshine, she what will you do, when the flowers are dead ? Ill try to be happy without them, she said. Anonymous THE BIRD AND ITS NEST WHAT does little birdie say, In her nest at peep of day?Let me fly, says little birdie;Mother, let me fly , rest a little longer, Till the little wings are stronger. So she rests a little longer, Then she flies away. What does little baby say, In her bed at peep of day? Baby says, like little birdie,Let me rise and fly away. Baby, sleep a little longer, Till the little limbs are stronger. If she sleeps a little longer, Baby, too, shall fly away. Alfred Tennyson41 STORIES FOR LITTLE CHILDREN
