THE TWINS.

Do you know our Peter and Polly,
So pretty, so plump and so jolly?
One with merry blue eyes and lips like a cherry,
And one with dark hair and cheeks brown as a berry?
Then this is our Peter and Polly!
Do you know our Polly and Peter?
One a little and one a great eater,
One with jews-harp and whistle and hammer
Just making a houseful of clamor;
And one with her dollie, and stories,
And lapful of blue morning glories?
Then this is our Polly and Peter!
November 27th, 1881.
