little nannie.
Listening Nannie,
What did you hear?
"Heard the rain asking
A rose to appear;
Heard the woods tell
When the wind whistled wrong;
Heard the stream flow
Where the bird drinks his song."

Nannie, dear Nannie,
O take me with you,
To run and to listen,
And see as you do!
"Nay, nay! you must borrow
My ear and my eye,
Or the beauty will vanish,
The music will die."
