At The Zoo First I saw the white bear, then I saw the black; Then I saw the camel with a hump upon his back; Then I saw the grey wolf, with mutton in his maw; Then I saw the wombat waddle in the straw; Then I saw the elephant a-waving of his trunk; Then I saw the monkeys-mercy, how unpleasantly they-smelt!

My Mother Who fed me from her gentle breast, And hushed me in her arms to rest, And on my cheek sweet kisses press . When sleep forsook my open eye, Who was it sung sweet hushaby, And rocked me that I should not cry? Who sat and watched my infant head, When sleeping on my cradle bed, And tears of sweet affection shed? When pain and sickness made me cry, Who gazed upon my heavy eye, And wept for fear that I should die? Who ran to help me when I fell, And would some pretty story tell, Or kiss the place to make it well? .  Who taught my infant lips to pray, And love God's holy book and day, And walk in wisdom's pleasant way?  . For could our Father in the skies Look down with pleased or loving eyes, If ever I could dare despise My Mother.

A Child's Evening Prayer Here on my bed my limbs I lay, God grant me grace my prayers to say: O God! preserve my mother dear In strength and health for many a year; And, O! preserve my father too, And may I pay him reverence due; And may I my best thoughts employ To be my parents' hope and joy; And O! preserve my brothers both From evil doings and from sloth, And may we always love each other Our friends, our father, and our mother: And still, O Lord, to me impart An innocent and grateful heart, That after my great sleep I may Awake to thy eternal day! Amen
