THE EVENING LESSON.
Come to my knee, my darling!
The long summer day is done;
And low to his rest in the crimson west
Sinketh the fiery sun.
Come, and we'll watch together
To see the first star appear,
And I'll tell you a beautiful story:
Listen, and you shall hear.
Shall I tell you of wicked "Bluebeard,"
Or of merry "Robin Hood"?
Of the wonderful "Lamp of Aladdin,"
Or the hapless "Babes in the Wood"?
