The Bookshelf for boys and girls Little Journeys into Bookland (1912)

One night when the house was dark and still, These adventures did begin,Of the hobby-horse and the woolly dog, And the trumpeter made of tin:What time they went a-hunting, For to see what they could win. Slyly through the door went they, Slyly through the house,Hoping they might find a deer; But… … The dog he barked; the horse he ran; The trumpeter blew his horn;And over the house they hunted the mouse From midnight until morn. Through kitchen and through dining-room— For woods they had the chairs-Through parlor and through hall they chased,And down the cellar stairs.
