_The Lassie O’Er The Way._

A sweet little lassie Lives over the way: She’s pretty and modest, Yet blithesome and gay.

So perfect her manners, So graceful her mien; O who would not worship This fair little queen!

Is there a young laddie Whose heart would not beat For those smiles so angelic And dimples so sweet:

Those blue eyes a-sparkling, That bright golden hair! O where’s the young lassie More charming and fair!

She’s modest and gentle, Yet cheerful and gay; This sweet little lassie, Just over the way.

Punctuation, hyphenation, and spelling were made consistent when a predominant preference was found in this book; otherwise they were not changed.

Simple typographical errors were corrected; occasional unbalanced quotation marks retained.

All of the illustrations are the same simple decoration.

“Telulah Spring”, listed as the Frontispiece in the Contents, was missing from the original book.

“Note” at beginning of “Miscellaneous Verses”: “seperate” was printed that way.
