    Boats sail on the rivers, and ships sail on the seas, but clouds that sail across the sky, are prettier far than these.

    (continued from previous page)
    Hush aby baby, I pray you, don't cry
    I'll give you some milk and some bread bye and bye.
    Or perhaps you'd like custard or maybe a tart
    Then to either you're welcome with all my whole heart.
    A.B.C. the cat is in the cupboard.
    Who knocks there? Little Johnny Bear.
    What do you want? A pint of beet.
    Where is the money? In my pocket.
    Where is your pocket? I forgot it.
    The fair young maid on the first of May.
    Who goes to the field at the break of day.
    And washes in dew by the hawthorn tree.
    Will always gay and happy be.
    See saw, up we go, over the fence and down.
    High above river and field of corn.
    And back by the road to the town.
