Rossetti, Christina Georgina, 1830-1894, Hughes, Arthur, 1832-1915, ill · London : Macmillan · leaf 91
The dog lies in his kennel,And Puss purrs on the rug, And baby perches on my kneeFor me to love and hug. Pat the dog and stroke the cat,Kach in its decree ; O And cuddle and kiss my baby,And baby kiss me. 69 … If hope grew on a bush, And joy grew on a tree,What a nosegay for the plucking There would be ! But oh ! in windy autumn,When frail flowers wither, What should we do for hope and joy,Fading together ? 70
