Ten O'clock.

Ten O'clock.

The Children drone
In sing-song tone,
The Master's shoes creak on the Floor.
They're baking Pies
At Home, and Flies
Buzz in and out the open Door.
The Beds are made;
The Pans are laid
Out in the pleasant Sun to dry.
Good Gretchen takes
Some Dough, and makes,
For litte John, a Saucer Pie.
