[Listen] [PDF] [MusicXML] Emilie Poulsson. Cornelia C. Roeske. music 1. Piggie Wig and Piggie Wee,
Hungry pigs as pigs could be,
For their dinner had to wait
Down behind the barnyard gate. | 2. Piggie Wig and Piggie Wee
Climbed the barnyard gate to see,
Peeping through the gate so high,
But no dinner could they spy. | 3. Piggie Wig and Piggie Wee
Got down sad as pigs could be;
But the gate soon opened wide
And they scampered forth outside. | 4. Piggie Wig and Piggie Wee,
What was their delight to see
Dinner ready not far off—
Such a full and tempting trough! | 5. Piggie Wig and Piggie Wee,
Greedy pigs as pigs could be,
For their dinner ran pell-mell;
In the trough both piggies fell. |
VI. A LITTLE BOY'S WALK
VI.—A LITTLE BOY’S WALK. A little boy went walking
One lovely summer’s day:
He saw a little rabbit
That quickly ran away;
He saw a shining river
Go winding in and out,
And little fishes in it
Were swimming all about; And, slowly, slowly turning,
The great wheel of the mill;
And then the tall church steeple,
The little church so still;
THE BRIDGE The bridge above the water;
And when he stopped to rest,
He saw among the bushes
A wee ground-sparrow’s nest. And as he watched the birdies
Above the tree-tops fly,
He saw the clouds a-sailing
Across the sunny sky. He saw the insects playing;
The flowers that summer brings;
He said, “I’ll go tell mamma!
I’ve seen so many things!”
