| At the Sea-side |
| When I was down beside the sea A wooden spade they gave to me To dig the sandy shore. My holes were empty like a cup. In every hole the sea came up, Till it could come no more. |

|
| Rain |
| The rain is raining all around, It falls on the field and tree, It rains on the umbrellas here, And on the ships at sea. |
 |
 |
 |
| Singing |
| Of speckled eggs the birdie sings And nests among the trees; The sailior sings of ropes and things In ships upon the seas. The children sing in far Japan The children sing in Spain; The organ with the organ man Is singing in the rain. |
| The Cow |
 |
 |
|
|
|
| The friendly cow all red and white I love with all my heart; She gives me cream with all her might, To eat with apple-tart. She wanders lowing here and there, And yet she cannot stray, All in the pleasant open air, The pleasant light of day. And blown by all the winds that pass And wet with all the showers, She walks among the meadow grass And eats the meadow flowers. |
 |
| The Swing |
| How do you like to go up in a swing, Up in the air so blue? Oh, I do think it the pleasantest thing Ever a child can do! Up in the air and over the wall, Till I can see so wide, Rivers and trees and cattle and all Over the countryside- Till I look down on the garden green, Down on the roof so brown- Up in the air I go flying again, Up in the air and down! |
