A poem by Eliza Lee Cabot Follen

Old Nursey

________________________________________________
Title:     Old Nursey
Author: Eliza Lee Cabot Follen [More Titles by Follen]

O, here is papa,
With Edward and Jane,
Come to see good old Nursey,
Who lives in the lane.

She's the best of all Nurseys,
And Edward and Jane
Love dearly good Nursey,
Who lives in the lane.

"Here's the hen and her chickens,"
Says Edward to Jane,
"And here's Nursey's pussy,
That lives in the lane."

Nurse gave a good hug
To Edward and Jane,
And told them a story
As long as the lane.

They said, "Good by Nursey."
She said "Come again
To see poor old Nursey,
Who lives in the lane"


[The end]
