INTERNATIONAL

She came from a round black dot on the map,—
This dear little girl, and she 's called a Jap.
Maybe my sister will show it to you:—
The very place where this little girl grew.

I wish she knew some American words,
Such as “How do you do?” and “trees,” and “birds.”
I 'd like to talk with her ever so much—
But she can't tell a thing that I say from Dutch.
Well, our dollies will get us acquainted to-day
If she'll only come out in the Park to play!
If it were not for nodding, and taking their hands,
We could never know people from foreign lands.
