BABY SEED SONG.

Little brown brother, oh! little

brown brother,

Are you awake in the dark?

Here we lie cosily, close to

each other:

Hark to the song of the lark

"Waken!" the lark says, "waken

and dress you;

Put on your green coats and gay

Blue sky will shine on you,

sunshine caress you

Waken! 'tis morning 'tis May!"

Little brown brother, oh! little

brown brother,

What kind of a flower will you be?

I'll be a poppy all white, like

my mother;

Do be a poppy like me.

What! You're a sunflower! How I

shall miss you

When you're grown golden

and high!

But I shall send all the bees up to

kiss you;

Little brown brother, good-bye.

- Edith Nesbit.
