Pray take them! they are all your own,
And take the little basket, too.
"Have you forgot that little girl
You last year gave a bonnet to?
You may, perhaps, but ever will
That little girl remember you.
"For ever since I've been to church,—
And much do I delight to go,—
For there I learned the way to heaven,
Which I so long had wished to know.
"One day I thought within myself,
That pretty basket Billy wove
I'll fill with fruit for that dear Miss,
For sure 't will be a work of love.
"And so, this morning, up I rose,
While yet the fields were wet with dew,
And picked the nicest I could find,
And brought them fresh and sweet to you.
"I know the gift is small, indeed,
For such a lady to receive;
But yet, I hope you'll not refuse
All that poor Phebe has to give."
