Jack was in the#garden.
I saw him there at dawn.
He was dancing around the bushes,
And prancing on the lawn.

He had a cloak of silver,
And a hat all shimmering white,
A wand of glittering stardust,
And shoes of sunbeam light.

- John P. Smeeton

"Be mine, be mine, O maiden !"
The wicked cried;
But the rose was brave and cried, "Behave!
Begone to, your raspberry bride;

The rose may only woo the rose,
The cherry espouse the cherry,
The gypsy maid gets the gypsy blade,
The raspberry gets the berry!"
