The Pig-Stye

ON the top of a mountain
There stands a pig-stye
And the fighting of parents
Has made the child cry.
Baby, baby,
Don’t you cry,
Wait, and I’ll whip
The old man by-and-by.

The Camel-Back Bridge

IF you chance to be crossing
The camel-back bridge,
Each step leads you up
Till you come to the ridge.

The lantern-grass floats
On the pond like a sail,
The silver-fish bites
At the gold-fish’s tail.
The big-bellied frog
Sitting there on the rock,
Keeps constantly calling
Wa’rh wa, wa’rh wa.
