An illustration from St. Nicholas, 1873, leaf 554
Wash the strawberries in their bed,Make them ripe and round and redWash the cherries neath the eaves.Blushing under thick green leaves. Lay the dust upon the street.Send up odors clean and sweetFrom the earth and new-mown grass,When the little breezes pass. i83xj THK RAIN-MAN. 521 WlWWWIiiHiiiiiiii… … Steal into the robins nest,Make the nestlings seek her breast;Make the chickens run and hideNeath the mother-wings so wide. Rain-man, neath your cloudy hat,Come and clatter, pat, pat, pat;Oer the roofs, and chimneys, too,Let us hear your tramping shoe.
