SEWING SONG.
I have a little servant With a single eye : She always does my bidding Very faithfully ; But she eats me no meat And she drinks me no drink, A very elever servant, as you well may think. Another little servant <>n niy linger sits. She the one eyed little servant Very neatly tits ; But she eats me no meat And she drinks me no drink, A very clever servant, as you well may think. Now, one more little servant, Through the single eye, Does both the other’s bidding Very faithfully ; But she eats me no meat. And she diinkt me no drink, A very clever servant, as you well may think. A needle and a thimble, Ami a spool of thread, Without the lingers nimble, And the knowing head, They would never make out, If they tried the whole day, To sew a square of patch work, as you well may say.
Mary J. Jacques.
