Now Tom would be a driver and Maria go to sea, And my papa's a banker and as rich as he can be; But I, when I am stronger and can choose what I'm to do, O Leerie, I'll go round at night and light the lamps with you! NOW TOM WOULD BE A DRI AND WE GO TO SEA AND MY PAPA'S A BANKER AS RICH AS HE CAN BE BUT I WHEN I AM STRONGER AND CAN CHOOSE WHAT I'M TO DO YOUR ALBOW RAT NIGHT AND LIGHT THE LAMPS WITH YOU
ot so nice as mine: You must often, as you trod, Have wearied not to be abroad. You have curious things to eat, I am fed on proper meat; You must dwell beyond the foam, But I am safe and live at home. Little Indian, Sioux or Crow, Little frosty Eskimo, Little Turk or Japanee, Oh! don't you wish that you were me? FOREIGN CHILDREN [Pg 35] THE SUN TRAVELS The sun is not a-bed, when I At night upon my pillow lie; Still round the earth his way he takes, And morning after morning makes. While here at home, in shining day, We round the sunny garden play, Each little Indian sleepy-head Is being kissed and put to bed. And when at eve I rise from tea, Day dawns beyond the Atlantic Sea; And all the children in the West Are getting up and being dressed. [Pg 37] THE LAMPLIGHTER My tea is nearly ready and the sun has left the sky. It's time to take the window to see Leerie going by; For every night at teatime and before you take your seat, With lantern and with ladder he comes posting up the street. OFF THEIR LEGS SUCH A LIFE IS VERY FINE BUT IT IS NOT AS NICE AS MINE YOU MUST OFTEN AS YOU TROD HAVE WEARIED NOT TO BE ABROAD YOU HAVE CURIOUS THINGS TO EAT I AM FED ON PROPER MEAT YOU MUST DWELL BE ON THE FOAM BUT I AM SAFE AND LIVE AT HOME LITTLE INDIAN THIEK OR CROW LITTLE FROSTY ESKIMO LITTLE TURKER JAPANESE OH DON'T YOU WISH THAT YOU WERE ME THE SUN TRAVELS THE SUN IS HOT AND NOT A BED WHEN I AT NIGHT UPON MY PILLOW LIE STILL ROUND THE EARTH HIS WEIGHT HE TAKES AND MORNING AFTER MORNING MAKES WELL HERE AT HOPE ITS SHINING DAY WE ROUND THE STUDDY GUARDED PLAY EACH LITTLE INDIAN SLEEPY HEAD IS BEING KISSED AND PUT TO BED AND WHEN AT EVE I RISE FROM TEA DAY DAWNS ME ON THE ATLANTIC SEA AND ALL THE CHILDREN IN THE WEST ARE GETTING UP AND BEING DRESSED THE LAMPLIGHTER MY TEA IS NEARLY READY AND THE SUN HAS LEFT US THE SKY IT IS TIME TO TAKE THE WINDOW TO SEE LEARY GO BY FOR EVERY NIGHT AT TEA TIME AND BEFORE YOU TAKE YOUR SEAT WITH LATTER AND WITH LATTER HE COMES POSTING UP THE STREET
