Run along, and never fear,
I’ll take care of baby dear:
Up and down with little feet,
That’s the way to walk, my sweet.
Now it is so very near,
Soon she’ll get to mother dear.
There she comes along at last:
Here’s my finger, hold it fast:
Now one pretty little kiss,
After such a walk as this.

OLD John had an apple-tree, healthy and green,
So juicy, so mellow, and red;And when they were ripe, he disposed of his store,To children or any who pass’d by his door,To buy him a morsel of bread.Little Dick, his next neighbour, one often might see,With longing eye viewing this fine apple-tree,And wishing a codlin might fall:One day as he stood in the heat…
