To show us all, asleep.

They came as softly up the stairs

As you could creep.

They whispered in the doorway there,

And looked at us awhile.

I had my eyes shut up; but I

Could feel him smile.

I shut my eyes up close, and lay

As still as I could keep;

Because I knew he wanted us

To be asleep.

[Pg 7]

Cakes and Ale

'm always glad when Andrew comes.

If only I am there,

He stays awhile, and talks to me,

As if he did not care.

He took me to some Music once,

When it was all for me.

And Oh, I had a splendid time!
