? An oculist I went to see
If blind I was to be.
Go home, take heed,
Take care of your eyes, do not even read.
An education you would have a part,
But be blind, and a broken heart.
The Jluthor

? Children's Rhymes and Verses
These first few verses will tell the reader when
many of them were written.
From my bed I arise
Long before the sun is in the skies.
Sleep, robin and wren.
That a few verses I mav pen.
The birds awake to soar
While many sleep and snore,
And now I am up again
That something 1 may do with my pen.
