page 2Georgie and Maudie came home from school,And each had got a prize;They had worked very hard, and tried to be good,For they wanted to grow up wise.And now behold them jumping for joy,And clapping their hands with glee,Because Mamma has promised them--They shall stay for a month by the sea.

page 4Next morn they got up early,—The day was bright and fine;So they dressed and had their breakfast,And were out by half-past nine.Ah! how they loved the crested waves,And what merry games they had,As they danced about bare-footed;They had never felt so glad.

page 5Star fish and jelly fish they caught,Whilst of shells they had a store;There seemed no end to the pretty thingsThey found upon the shore.They built huge castles up with sand,And dug around deep moats,Which they filled with pails of water,Then sailed their tiny boats.And sea-weeds of all coloursCame floating in with the foam;They were wond’rous bright and beautiful,For they grew in the mermaid’s home.
