“And then we’ll have a great big tree,

When we grow up, I guess.”

“O, yes,” cried Bess, “a sugar tree,

A maple-sugar tree;

To bear sweet sticks and hearts and rounds,

As thick as thick can be!”

“For cups and saucers for your dolls,

And nuts to crack for me!”

Little “Sorry-Boy”—bless his tender heart!In this world he truly does his part.Every hot day “Sorry-Boy” comes out,Pumps a great big cool wet shower about,Makes a splendid splatter and a splash,For the chicks and shaggy old dog Dash:For such pitying acts there cameTo this little boy his name!

Every hot day “Sorry-Boy” comes out,

Pumps a great big cool wet shower about,

Makes a splendid splatter and a splash,

For the chicks and shaggy old dog Dash:

For such pitying acts there came

To this little boy his name!
