Through kitchen and through dining-room— For woods they had the chairs-Through parlor and through hall they chased,And down the cellar stairs. … 130 POEMS FOR CHILDREN OF ALL AGES 131 The hobby-horse knocked down a chair; The dog fell in a pail;The trumpeter reached for the mouse, But only touched its tail!
