LITTLE NANNIE.

FAWN-footed Nannie,
 Where have you been?
"Chasing the sunbeams
 Into the glen;
Plunging through silver lakes
 After the moon;
Tracking o'er meadows
 The footsteps of June."

Sunny-eyed Nannie,
 What did you see?
"Saw the fays sewing
 Green leaves on a tree;
Saw the waves counting
 The eyes of the stars;
Saw cloud-lambs sleeping
 By sunset's red bars."
