Mid laughter and fun and noise | B |

There are only four as a rule | E |
But to day another is added | A |
For Baby is going to school | E |

With a kiss on her dimpled cheek | G |

You needn t be fwightened Says baby | H |
I ll be as wight as tan be | H |

Oh the breath of the summer morning | C |
The gleam of dew on the grass | J |
The incense of white gum blossoms | K |

While Mickey and Pat go racing | C |
Over flats where the grass is green | L |

From the door of the Convent school | E |
Where our darling finds to her pleasure | I |
Another kingdom to rule | E |

With a brand new desk in the corner | I |
A pencil and slate of her own | P |
In the sunshine of Sister s welcome | Q |
She sits a queen on her throne | P |

But drowsily hums the insects | R |
Round the bougainvillea flower | I |
And drowsy and warm in the morning | C |
So long ere the luncheon hour | I |
- | |
Kind Sister has drawn the blind down | S |
Making a shady nook | T |
Where Mary Beronica slumbers | R |
With her golden head on her book | T |
