Heigh-ho Babyhoodi Tell mo where you lnger;
Let's toddle home again, for we have gono astray-
Take this eager hand Of mine and lead mo by tho
finger
Back to tho lotus lands of tho Far-awayi
Turn back the leaves of lfe-dont read the story
Let's find the pictures and fancy all the rest;
We fill the written pages with brighter glory
Than old Time, the story teller, at his very best
Turn to the brook where tho honeysucke, tipping
And the bees and humming birds In ecstasy are SIP
From the fairy nagons of the blooming locust trees.
Turn to the lane where used to "teeter-totter,'
Printing little foot palms in the mellow mould
Laughing at tho lazy cattle wading in the water
Where the rpples dimpe round tho buttercups OF
Where the dnsby turtlo lies basking on the gravel
OF the sunny sand-bar In the middle tide
And the ghosty dragon fly paHsss IN ms sraxsI dcd
Heigh ho, Babyhoodl Tell mo where you linger'
Let's toddlc home again, for we have gone astray-
Take this eager hand OF mine and lead me oy tho
Back to tho lotus lands of the Far-away.
