It knew its mamma missed it, For she smoothed it, and she kissed it, In a way that only Mamma Geese know how to do, I know*But if Master Fox had found him,When the night-time closed around him, His pretty toes and wing-tips had been scattered high and low. MARY A. McKEE. … GOOD TIMES. Sing a song of Good Times,And pockets full of toys, — Four-and-twenty little girls,And just as many boys. When the ball was opened,The fun began to reign; Dancing, shouting, up the stairs,And down the stairs again.
