Our teacher is so nice and pleas

She's the kind the school-house is

And the time is twenty minutes

And we play until we hear the

Spring and Birds
Spring is here! Spring is here!
Everyone has some cheer.
The birds come back to their nest
In the maple tree for rest.
But little boy stole their nest
Where the little were to rest.
What will the little brides do?
You must think of them too.
The little boy hung his head
And his face was very red.
He was the little boy who stole the
nest
Where the little brides were to
rest.-Marguerite Grain.
