“Twenty froggies went to school Down beside a wee pool...”
(continued from previous page)Twenty froggies went to school.
Down beside a wee pool.
Twenty little boats of green.
Twenty little vests all white and clean.We must be in time says they.
First we study, then we play.
That is how we keep the rule.
When we froggies go to school.God sends his singers upon earth.
With songs of sadness and of mirth.
That they might cheer the hearts of men.
And bring them up to Heaven again.

“There is a lesson in each flower A story in each stream and bower...”
(continued from previous page)There is a lesson in each flower.
A story in each stream and bower.
On every herb on which you thread.
Are written words which rightly read.
Would lead you from earths fragrant sod.
To hope and holiness and God.
