'lMaple-sugar, rhubarb-pie, Sparroff-grasB and lettuce; Koasted veal for dinrer, now, Jïiddy's Rure to get us!" Tiii, 1 fear, is everything Tommy thinks abont in Spring Ob, I would not like to be Such a greedy boy as he! What does Tommy think about In tho Sumrner-tirne - Wben the bobolink nies over Putple tieliift of scented clover, When the meadow-flag is blooming, :nd the rose is in its prime? 1 Now," saya Tommy, "we shall hare Lemonade and cherries, Lsmb and peas, and cucumbers, And all kinds of berries, bly yathered, ripe and sweet: Hnïimer brings good ihinga to eatí" Oh, I would not like to be fitoch a greedy boy as he! Wiat doe& Tommy think about In the Antumn days - When, to gold and scarlet turning, AU the maple-woods seem burning, Anl the distant hilU are hidden By tïie jturple haze? "Peaches, apples, grapesand pears, Marmalade of quinces, New rye-cakes with honey spread, Weshall live like prinoee!" N(ithlng else wins Tommy's praise In the splendid Autumn days. Oh, I would not like to be Such a greedy boy as he! What does Tommy thiak about When the winter's hcre- Wfan tho lonH mtth wind is calling, Or the soft stül snow is falling, And the sparrows sit, half frozen, 'Mid the oak leaves brown and sear, And the poor folks shivering sigh, And the skies are murky? "Now," says Torn, "for pumpkin-pie, öuusRges and turkeyl" Ob, I would not like to be Such a greedy boy as he!
