DOLLY AND MOLLY 
 
 AND 
 
 THE FARMER MAN 
 
 Went Dolly and Molly, 
 one fine summer day, 
 
 To watch while the farmer 
 man made the new hay.

 And a beautiful basket of 
 luncheon they took, 
 
 All wrapped in white nap- 
 kins by Mary the cook. 
 
He whetted his scythe. 
 
 Oh, the big noise it made ! 
 And he cut down that hay, 
 
 each spear and each blade.

 The Grasshoppers hoppered, 
 and gazed in surprise. 
 
 You ought to have seen how 
 they stuck out their eyes!

 He took a big fork and he 
 spread, all around, 
 
 That sweet-smelling hay on 
 the sunshiny ground.

 And the Hoppy Toads 
 blinked sadly, saying, 
 "Oh, well, 
 
 We shall just have to move 
 to the Burdock Hotel."

 Then he raked it in long 
 rows, and left it to dry, 
 
 While they all ate their lunch 
 'neath a big tree near by.

 And the Robin came too, 
 saying, "Please give me 
 some," 
 
 So Dolly and Molly each 
 gave him a crumb.

 Then the man tossed the hay 
 in a great shiny heap, 
 
 And put on its night cap, 
 and left it to sleep. 
 
Then a black and gold Bum- 
 blebee bumbled along, 
 
 Saying, "It's-time-little- 
 girlies-were-home-where- 
 they-b'long."

 So Dolly and Molly, all tired 
 
 with play, 
 Just followed the Bumblebee 
 
 home all the way. 
 
And Grandmother gave them 
 some milk and some bread, 
 
 And lovingly kissed them 
 and put them to bed.

 And the sleep fairies came 
 to that little white room, 
 
 And sprinkled them over 
 with sleep flower bloom.

And that was the end of 
 that beautiful day, 
 
 When the twins watched 
 the farmer man make 
 the new hay.
