pleasant Land of Play ; The Flowers 98 All the names I know from nurse :Gardeners garters, Shepherds purse,Bachelors buttons, Ladys smock,And the Lady Hollyhock. To Auntie 116 What did the other children do ? And what were childhood, wanting you ? *** The text illustrations are from drawings in… … I have to go to bed and seeThe birds still hopping on the tree,Or hear the grown-up peoples feetStill going past me in the street. And does it not seem hard to you,When all the sky is clear and blue,And I should like so much to play,To have to go to bed by day? [3]
