All a quiver.
Day is near,
Clear, clear,
Fish are breaking,
Time for waking.
Tup, tup, tup!
Do you hear?
All clear—
Wake up!
The Little Baldhead[1]
You dear little baby,
Don't you cry;
Your father's drawing water
In the south, near by.
A red tasseled hat
He wears on his head;
Your mother's in the kitchen
Making up bread.
Walk a step, walk a step,
Off he goes,
See from his shoe-tips
Peep three toes.
