THE WIND I saw you toss the kites on high And blow the birds about the sky; And all around I heard you pass, Like ladies' skirts across the grass   O wind, a blowing all day long, O wind, that sings so loud a song! THE WIND I SAW YOU TOSS THE KITES ON HIGH AND BLOW THE BIRDS ABOUT THE SKY AND ALL AROUND I HEARD YOU PASS LIKE LADIES SKIRT ACROSS THE GRASS O WIND A BLOWING ALL DAY LONG O WIND THAT SINGS SO LOUD A SONG
 [Illustration] MARCHING SONG Bring the comb and play upon it! Marching, here we come! Willie cocks his highland bonnet, Johnnie beats the drum. Mary Jane commands the party, Peter leads the rear; Feet in time, alert and hearty, Each a Grenadier! All in the most martial manner Marching double-quick; While the napkin, like a banner, Waves upon the stick! Here's enough of fame and pillage, Great commander Jane! Now that we've been round the village, Let's go home again. [Illustration] THE COW The friendly cow all red and white, I love with all my heart: She gives me cream with all her might, To eat with apple-tart. She wanders lowing here and there, And yet she cannot stray, All in the pleasant open air, The pleasant light of day; And blown by all the winds that pass And wet with all the showers, She walks among the meadow grass And eats the meadow flowers. [Illustration] [Illustration] HAPPY THOUGHT The world is so full of a number of things, I'm sure we should all be as happy as kings. TO BED BUT THE FLOOR KEPT SHINING AND BRIGHT IN MY EYES AND THE STARS KEPT GOING ROUND MY HEAD MARCHING SONG BRING THE COMB AND PLAY UPON IT MARCHING HERE WE COME WILLIE COCKS HIS HIL AND BONNET JONNY BEATS THE DRUM MARY JANE COMMANDS THE PARTY PETER LEADS THE REAR FEET IN TIME ALARM AND HEARTY EACH A GRAND DENEER ALL IN THE MOST MORTILE MANNER MARCHING DOUBLE QUICK WHILE THE NAPKIN LIKE A BANNER WAVES UPON A STICK HERE'S ENOUGH OF FAME AND PILLAGE GREAT COMMANDER JANE NOW THAT WE'VE BEEN AROUND THE VILLAGE LET'S GO HOME AGAIN THE COW THE FRIENDLY COW ALL RED AND WHITE I LOVE WITH ALL MY HEART SHE USE ME CREAM WITH ALL HER MIGHT TO EAT WITH APPLE TART SHE WANDERS LOWING HERE AND THERE AND YET SHE CANNOT STRAY ALL IN THE PLEASANT OPEN AIR THE PLEASANT LIGHT OF DAY AND BLOWN BY ALL THE WINDS THAT PASS AND WET WITH ALL THE SHOWER SHE WALKS AMONG THE MEADOW GRASS AND EATS THE MEADOW FLOWERS HAPPY THOUGHT THE WORLD IS SO FULL OF A NUMBER OF THINGS I'M SURE WE SHOULD ALL BE AS HAPPY AS KINGS
