An illustration from Wordsworth for the young; selections with an introduction for parents and teachers, 1891, leaf 57 — WE ABE ISEVEN. Sisters and brothers, little Maid,How many may you be ? How many ? Seven in all, she said,And wondering looked at me. And where are they ? I pray you tell.She answered, Sevexi are we ;And two of us at Conway dwell,And two are gone to sea. Two of us in the church-yard lie,My sister… … Then did the little Maid reply, Seven boys and girls are we ;Two of us in the church-yard lie,Beneath the church-yard tree. You run about, my little Maid,Your limbs they are alive ;If two are in the church-yard laid,Then ye are only five.
