DOLLY AND MOLLY
AND
THE FARMER MAN
Went Dolly and Molly,
one fine summer day,
To watch while the farmer
man made the new hay.
[Illustration]
[Illustration]
And a beautiful basket of
luncheon they took,
All wrapped in white napkins
by Mary the cook.
[Illustration]
He whetted his scythe.
Oh, the big noise it made!
And he cut down that hay,
each spear and each blade.
[Illustration]
[Illustration]
[Illustration]
The Grasshoppers hoppered,
and gazed in surprise.
You ought to have seen how
they stuck out their eyes!
[Illustration]
He took a big fork and he
spread, all around,
That sweet-smelling hay on
the sunshiny ground.
[Illustration]
[Illustration]
[Illustration]
And the Hoppy Toads
blinked sadly, saying, “Oh, well,
We shall just have to move
to the Burdock Hotel.”
[Illustration]
Then he raked it in long
rows, and left it to dry,
While they all ate their lunch
’neath a big tree near by.
[Illustration]
[Illustration]
And the Robin came too,
saying, “Please give me some,”
So Dolly and Molly each
gave him a crumb.
[Illustration]
[Illustration]
Then the man tossed the hay
in a great shiny heap,
And put on its night cap,
and left it to sleep.
[Illustration]
[Illustration]
[Illustration]
Then a black and gold Bumblebee
bumbled along,
Saying, “It’s-time-little-girlies-
were-home-where-they-b’long.”
[Illustration]
[Illustration]
So Dolly and Molly, all tired
with play,
Just followed the Bumblebee
home all the way.
[Illustration]
[Illustration]
And Grandmother gave them
some milk and some bread,
And lovingly kissed them
and put them to bed.
[Illustration]
And the sleep fairies came
to that little white room,
And sprinkled them over
with sleep flower bloom.
[Illustration]
[Illustration]
[Illustration]
And that was the end of
that beautiful day,
When the twins watched
the farmer man make the new hay.
