Harry's Recitation
BY Sarah e. Burton.

BY Sarah e. Burton.
I am very little boy,
And cannot" read or spell;
But I've a lot Of picture books
That I know very we'll.
And can whistle two, three tunes,
And I can run and hop,
And play with boys at hide-an-seek
And spin my humming-top.
And, though I'm such little boy,
I'll do the best I can
To, live good and noble life,
And be an houest man.
