OUR PLAYTHINGS.
Susan has a waxen doll,
With little bright blue eyes,
And Mary has a pretty Poll,
That chatters, laughs, and cries.

Dear James has made a handsome ship,
With famous mast and sails,
And father bought for little Phip
A wooden cow and pails.

Louisa has a milk-white dove,
And little china boys;
But I have something that I love
Better than birds or toys.

It never speaks a single word,
Yet tells me many things,
About some darling little bird,
That makes its nest and sings;
Yet tells me many things,
About some darling little bird,
That makes its nest and sings;
About good little children too,
And little babies dear,
It tells me many stories new,
And some are very queer.
And little babies dear,
It tells me many stories new,
And some are very queer.
Of all my things I like it best.
Peep in and take a look!
'Tis prettier than all the rest,
My little story book.
Peep in and take a look!
'Tis prettier than all the rest,
