A SCHOOLGIRL’S WISH.
How glad shall I be when my school days are o'er, And then I’ll not need a governess any more, They make me sit so upright all day, And correct very nearly each word that I say. I must not do that and I must not do this. And that is all crooked, and this all amiss, ‘ Again must I say, don’t bite your thread, <>h dear ! I never saw such an untidy head.’ When lessons are done and all put away’, I’m sure I’ll be happy and merry and gay’ ; l'o do as I like and have all my leisure, Is just what I picture the height of all pleasure.
Violet.
