HERE AND THERE.
(A JUVENILE CHORUS.)
Where's Lucy? where's Lucy?
Far, far in the wood,
With wild birds for play-mates,
And beech-nuts for food?

With singing and ringing
To join in our lay.

The stars shining keenly,
The cold wind doth blow.

Go seek her, go find her,
With man and with dog.

In China dwells he;
He wears a long pig-tail,
Perpetually drinks tea.

She has wings—she can fly!
She has flown to the bright moon—
Look up there and spy!
