Some day soon this rhyming volume if you learn with proper speed | B |
Little Louis Sanchez will be given you to read | C |
Then you shall discover that your name was printed down | D |
By the English printers long before in London town | D |
- | |
In the great and busy city where the East and West are met | E |
All the little letters did the English printer set | E |
While you thought of nothing and were still too young to play | F |
Foreign people thought of you in places far away | F |
- | |
Ay and when you slept a baby over all the English lands | G |
Other little children took the volume in their hands | G |
Other children questioned in their homes across the seas | H |
Who was little Louis won't you tell us mother please | H |

Now that you have spelt your lesson lay it down and go and play | F |
Seeking shells and seaweed on the sands of Monterey | F |
Watching all the mighty whalebones lying buried by the breeze | H |
Tiny sandpipers and the huge Pacific seas | H |
- | |
And remember in your playing as the sea fog rolls to you | I |
Long ere you could read it how I told you what to do | I |
And that while you thought of no one nearly half the world away | F |
Some one thought of Louis on the beach of Monterey | F |
