WE were tired of travel one afternoon, And stopped at the sign of "The Great Barn-Door,"And Jimmy and Alice took rooms in the loft, While I had mine on the second floor.
Jimmy and Alice went climbing high Over the rafters above my head,And peeped thro' the swallow-holes out at the sky. —If Mother had seen them, what would she have said?
But I stayed down in the soft new hay, And the sun crept in thro" a yellow chink,And a long beam found me out where I lay, And tickled my eyes till it made them blink.
