The sea blue the sky,

And gay little rppIes were hurryng by,
For the west wind blew merry and free;
And two little lads were at play
On the shining white sand by the sea;
They had nothing do for long summer day,
But be happy happy could be.
And that the reason, perhaps
For other seemed in the way.
That before many hours these two little chaps
Began to be tired of their play;
And one of them said the other.
