Pray take them! they are all your own,
  And take the little basket, too.

"Have you forgot that little girl
  You last year gave a bonnet to?
You may, perhaps, but ever will
  That little girl remember you.

"For ever since I've been to church,—
  And much do I delight to go,—
For there I learned the way to heaven,
  Which I so long had wished to know.

"One day I thought within myself,
  That pretty basket Billy wove
I'll fill with fruit for that dear Miss,
  For sure 't will be a work of love.

"And so, this morning, up I rose,
  While yet the fields were wet with dew,
And picked the nicest I could find,
  And brought them fresh and sweet to you.

"I know the gift is small, indeed,
  For such a lady to receive;
But yet, I hope you'll not refuse
  All that poor Phebe has to give."
