Dodge, Mary Mapes, 1830-1905 · [New York : Scribner & Co.] · leaf 296
ook and feel, Whenever you look at me.If you are cross,and grumpy,and sad,I m sad andgrumpy, too;And no matterhow much Iwant to smile,I can not smileat you.So please be verycarefulWhenever youlook my way,Because I hate tomake scowlsand tears.And like to lookmerry andgay. Mr. Snip and Mrs. Snap… … In the little red beds,where the whitepearls grow,Is where I mustwork to keepthem soI must go intoevery cornerand crack.Or the food will hide there and closely pack,And then the people will nod and say,Wheie s Mr. Tooth-brush? Gone away?
