All the World Over

The Childrens’ Shoes

BY BLANCHE B. BAKER (nine years’ old).

---

FOUR pairs of little shoes.
  All in a row;
Four pairs of little shoes
  For to-morrow.

Four pairs of little shoes
  Worn every day;
Four pairs of little shoes
  Ready for play.

Four pairs of little shoes
  By the fire’s glow;
Four pairs of little shoes
  White at the toe.

Four pairs of little shoes
  Travelling all day;
Four pairs of little shoes
  Resting from play.

Four pairs of little shoes
  Waiting for day;
Four pairs of little shoes
  Never go astray!
