Dodge, Mary Mapes, 1830-1905 · [New York : Scribner & Co.] · leaf 431
Five little pussy-cats, sitting in a row ;Blue ribbon round each neck, fastened in a bow. Hey, kittens ! ho, kittens ! are your faces clean ?Dont you know you re sitting here, so as to be seen ? … Five pretty little birds, singing all together; Flitting round so joyfully in the pleasant weather. Little birds, little birds, why not fret and cry ? Oh, because we re good and glad : that s the reason why.
