I KNOW A. WHITE RABBIT

Contents

SWINGING. I

Through the drowsy afternoon;

Up I go to meet the moon

I can see as I go high

I can see as I come down. The tops of houses in the town; High and low, Fast and slow, Swing, swing, swing. II

See! the sun is gone away;

Gone to make a bright new day

WATCHING

THE RABBIT

THE FIDDLER

A-coming down the street. A-coming O! a-coming O! A-coming down the street. II

There's not a sight so sweet,

MORNING TIME. I. Awake, my pet! What! slumbering yet,

The flowers that wept. Before they slept

Have listened long. To the lark's wild song,

II. Again and again. Through the window-pane

And in at the door, And along the floor,

So I opened wide. The sash, and tried

III. Awake, my dear, The winter drear

But quickly by. The spring will fly,

Awake while yet. The dew is wet
