Very Short Stories And Verses For Children — A First Love-Making

"Yes, it is very good of them to come," the children answered; "dear little swallows, perhaps they love us!"

A FIRST LOVE-MAKING.

A land there is beyond the sea That I have never seen, But Johnny says he'll take me there, And I shall be a queen.

He'll build for me a palace there, Its roof will be of thatch, And it will have a little porch And everything to match.

And he'll give me a garden-green, And he'll give me a crown Of flowers that love the wood and field And never grow in town.

And we shall be so happy there, And never, never part, And I shall be the grandest queen-- The queen of Johnny's heart.
