A woman who lived in Holland, of old,Polished her brass till it shone like gold.She washed her pig after all his meals,In spite of his energetic squeals.She scrubbed her doorstep into the ground, She thought they were really neater so!Then her passion for cleaning… … SHE POLISHED THEIR FEATURES OFF THEIR FACES. And the childrens faces, pink and round,She washed so hard that in several casesShe polished their features off their faces —Which gave them an odd appearance, thoughVol. XXV.— 52. 409
