Speak OF queen and empress,
Or OF other ladies royal
Not one Of them has half the power
Or subjects half 30 loyal
As she, the little schoolma'am
Who trips along the way
To take the chair she makes q throne
At nine o'clock each day.
Her rule is ever gentle:
Her tones are low and sweet;
She is very trim and tidy
From her head unto her feet
And It matters very little
II her eyes be brown or blue;
They simply read your Utmost heart
Whenever she looks at you.
The children bring her presents,
Red apples, flowers galore,
For oil the merry girls and boys
This queen of theirs adore.
The darling little schoolma'am,
Who rcigns without peer
In q hundred thousand classrooms
This gayly flying year.
