Ah! shy little Kate, she steals my roses; And Maud and Bell twine wreaths and posies.
As merry as bees in clover.
Under my window, under my window.
In the blue Midsummer weather.
Stealing slow, on a hushed tiptoe, I catch them all together: — Bell with her bonnet of satin sheen.
And Maud with her mantle of silver-green.
And Kate with the scarlet feather.
Under my window, under my window.
And off through the orchard closes; While Maud she flouts, and Bell she pouts.
They scamper and drop their p...osies; But dear little Kate takes naught amiss.
And leaps in my arms with a loving kiss.
And I give her all my roses.
136 THE VIOLET SPEAKER THE MOUSE AND THE CAKE.
ELIZA COOK.
A mouse found a beautiful piece of plum-cake.
The richest and sweetest that mortal could make; 'Twas heavy with citron and fragrant with spice, And covered with sugar all sparkling as ice.
"My stars 1" cried the mouse, while his eye beamed with glee, "Here's a treasure I've found; what a feast it will be: But, hark! there's a noise, 'tis my brothers at play; So I'll hide with the cake, lest they wander this way.
