And never before have her sorrowfui eyes
Beheld (so she thinks) so much blue In the skies.
But soon she Is settled, for two happy weeks.
On the farm where good living will ia,ten her

Where with plenty of frolc and plenty Of care
From the Kind host and hostess, aud plenty fresh
air.
Aud nothing to do as the happy days pass,
She'll turn from sad To gay little lass
oh how she will scamper DER meadow and hill,
Aud how she will learn TO love each little rill
That triekles so merriiy down the hill side,
To spread itself out in the pastures so wide;
And oh how the sunshine witi kiss the young
Till Of sadness and care thereil be never a trace
Dear little girle. nor ragged nor sad,
