THE LESSON.
151
There's "D" that stands for darling;
The prettiest in the row:
Who is his mother's darling—
Who is he—do you know?
You say you'll be a sailor:
How sorry you would be
Not to read your mother's letters,
When far away at sea.
Ah! I see you'll be a scholar;
You've said them rightly o'er:
There's a good child—and to-morrow
You are to learn some more.
Come now into the garden,
To the fruit and flowers away;
So well you've said your lesson,
That you deserve to play.
