THE TEETER.
Said the brownest little Brownie,To the weest little Fairy,“Won’t you come alongAnd play a while with me?”Said the weest little FairyTo the brownest little Brownie,“Tell me what you want to play,Then I will see!”So this sprightly happy fellowFound the broadest blade of grass,And balanced it upon a mossy stone.And those little fairy childrenTeetered gaily up and down,Up and down all the afternoon alone.Maud Burnham.

Said the brownest little Brownie,
To the weest little Fairy,
“Won’t you come along
And play a while with me?”
Said the weest little Fairy
To the brownest little Brownie,
“Tell me what you want to play,
Then I will see!”
So this sprightly happy fellow
Found the broadest blade of grass,
And balanced it upon a mossy stone.
And those little fairy children
Teetered gaily up and down,
Up and down all the afternoon alone.
