Birds in their little nests agree;
And 'tis a shameful sight,
When children of one family
Fall out and chide and fight.
ISAAC WATTS.
THE BLUEBELL OF SCOTLAND.
Oh where! and oh where! is your Highland laddie gone?
He's gone to fight the French for King George upon the throne;
And it's oh! in my heart how I wish him safe at home.
Oh where! and oh where! does your Highland laddie dwell?
He dwells in merry Scotland at the sign of the Bluebell;
And it's oh! in my heart that I love my laddie well.
IF I HAD BUT TWO LITTLE WINGS.
"If I Had But Two Little Wings," by Samuel Taylor Coleridge
(1772-1834), is recommended by a number of teachers and school-girls.
If I had but two little wings
And were a little feathery bird,
To you I'd fly, my dear!
But thoughts like these are idle things
And I stay here.
But in my sleep to you I fly:
I'm always with you in my sleep!
The world is all one's own.
And then one wakes, and where am I?
All, all alone.
