HOME FOR THE HOLIDAYS.

207

And their tails, and their manes, and their sleek coats so

bright; Some cream and some piebald, some black and some white; And how Mr. Merryman made us all shout,

When he fell from the horse, and went rolling about;
We'll be sure to go there -'tis such capital fun,
And we won't stir an inch till it's every bit done!

Mr. Punch, we'll have him too, our famous old friend;
One might see him for ever and laugh to the end:
With his little dog Toby, so clever and wise,
And poor Mrs. Judy, with tears in her eyes;
With the constable taking him off to the bar,
And the gentleman talking his "Shalla-balla ;"

With the flourishing stick that knocks all of them down,
For Punch's delight is in breaking a crown.

Home for the Holidays, here we go!
But really this train is exceedingly slow;
Yet, stay! I declare here is London at last;
The Park is right over the tunnel just pass'd.
Huzza! huzza! I can see my papa!

I can see George's uncle, and Edward's mamma!

And Fred, there's your brother! look! look! there he stands ; They see us! they see us! they're waving their hands!

Why don't the train stop? what are they about?

Now, now it is steady-oh! pray let us out!
A cheer for old London, a kiss for mamma,
We're home for the holidays. Now, huzza!

ELIZA COOK.

193. A FAREWELL.

My fairest child, I have no song to give you; No lark could pipe to skies so dull and grey : Yet ere we part, one lesson I can leave you

For every day.

Be good, sweet maid, and let who will be clever; Do noble things, not dream them, all day long, And so make life, death, and that vast for ever, One grand, sweet song.

KINGSLEY.
