He loves to be little, he hates to be big, 'Tis he that inhabits the caves that you dig; 'Tis he when you play with your soldiers of tin That sides with the Frenchmen and never can win. 'Tis he, when at night you go off to your bed, Bids you go to your sleep and not trouble your head; For wherever they're lying, in cupboard or shelf, 'Tis he will take care of your playthings himself! HE LOVES TO BE LITTLE HE HATES TO BE BIG T IS HE THAT INHABITS THE CASE THAT YOU DIG TIS HE WHEN YOU PLAY WITH YOUR SOLDIERS OF TIN BESIDES AS A FRENCHMAN AND NEVER CAN WIN TIS HE WHEN AT NIGHT YOU GO OFF TO YOUR BED BERT BID YOU YOU GO TO YOUR SLEEP AND NOT TROUBLE YOUR HEAD FOR WHEREVER THEY LIE AND COVER OR SHELF TIS HE WILL TAKE CARE YOUR PLAYTHINGS HIMSELF
 Port_ Last, to the chamber where I lie My fearful footsteps patter nigh, And come from out the cold and gloom Into my warm and cheerful room. There, safe arrived, we turn about To keep the coming shadows out, And close the happy door at last On all the perils that we past. Then, when mamma goes by to bed, She shall come in with tip-toe tread, And see me lying warm and fast And in the Land of Nod at last. THE CHILD ALONE [Illustration] [Illustration] THE UNSEEN PLAYMATE When children are playing alone on the green, In comes the playmate that never was seen. When children are happy and lonely and good, The Friend of the Children comes out of the wood. Nobody heard him and nobody saw, His is a picture you never could draw, But he's sure to be present, abroad or at home, When children are happy and playing alone. He lies in the laurels, he runs on the grass, He sings when you tinkle the musical glass; Whene'er you are happy and cannot tell why, The Friend of the Children is sure to be by!
