BED I'm e.

Three little girls are weary
Weary of books and OF play;
Sad Is the world aud dreary-
slow v the time slips away.
Six little ieet are aching,
Bowed is eacn little head;
fet they are up and SHAKING
When there is mention of bed,
Bravely they laugh and chatter,
JUS for a minute OF two,
Then, when they end their clatter,
sleep comes quickly TO WOO.
SLOWLY their eyes are c osing,
Down again drops every head
i hree little maids are doing.
though they're not ready for bed.
That Is their method ever
n Nighs after night they protest,
Claimin- they're sleepy never
Never in Deed of res.
Nodiing and almosl dreaming,
Drowsily each little head
Still /, forever scheming
Merely 10 keep out of ned.
