English poem

A Music Box

by (1845–1918)

Listen in the reader

I am a little music box, Wound up and made to go, And play my little living tune The best way that I know.

If I am naughty, cross, or rude, The music will go wrong, My little works be tangled up And spoil the pretty song.

I must be very sweet and good And happy all the day, And then the little music box In tune will always play.
