[Pg 45] <hr style="width: 65%;" /> <h2>A-COMING DOWN THE STREET.</h2> <div class="poem"><div class="stanza"> I. </div> <div class="stanza"> The baby she has golden hair, Her cheeks are like a rose, And she sits fastened in her chair, A-counting of her toes. The mother she stands by the door, And all the place is neat, She says, "When it is half-past four, He'll come along the street." And O! in all this happy world There's not a sight so sweet, As 'tis to see the master, dear, A-coming down the street. A-coming O! a-coming O! A-coming down the street. </div> <div class="stanza"> II. </div> <div class="stanza"> The baby's sister toddles round, And sings a little song, And every word and every sound Says, "Father won't be long." And when he comes we'll laugh for glee, And then his bonnie face, [Pg 46] However dark the day may be, Makes sunshine in the place. And O! in all this happy world There's not a sight so sweet, As 'tis to see the master, dear, A-coming down the street, A-coming O! a-coming O! A-coming down the street. </div> </div> <div style="break-after:column;"></div>
