Poems (Hoffman)/Our Walk
OUR WALK
Ashley and Edward and I,
Did you see we three go by?
Ashley who walks like a little king
And Edward who looks at everything?
We are taking a walk, good-bye, good-bye.
Ashley and Edward and I.
Did you see we three go by?
Ashley who walks like a little king
And Edward who looks at everything?
We are taking a walk, good-bye, good-bye.
Ashley and Edward and I.
We scare the grasshoppers out of the grass
The frogs will croak as they see us pass
And the daisies look up and smile and bow,
Ah! little snail, we have found you now,
Look out little snail or you'll bump your eye,
We are taking a walk, good-bye, good-bye.
The frogs will croak as they see us pass
And the daisies look up and smile and bow,
Ah! little snail, we have found you now,
Look out little snail or you'll bump your eye,
We are taking a walk, good-bye, good-bye.
And there is a cow with horns, alas!
She will hook us sure if we try to pass,
I wish she had eyes on her horns and then
When she saw us coming she'd draw them in
She'd be so afraid we might bump her eye,—
She never looked up! good-bye, good-bye.
She will hook us sure if we try to pass,
I wish she had eyes on her horns and then
When she saw us coming she'd draw them in
She'd be so afraid we might bump her eye,—
She never looked up! good-bye, good-bye.
We have had such a pleasant walk to-day
Now we're going home by another way,
We are hungry and tired and our hair's uncurled
But we've seen a piece of God's great wide world,
And there's Mamma making cookies and pie
For Ashley and Edward and I.
Now we're going home by another way,
We are hungry and tired and our hair's uncurled
But we've seen a piece of God's great wide world,
And there's Mamma making cookies and pie
For Ashley and Edward and I.
