Songs for April

Little Jack Horner



The Little Disaster



My Pretty Maid



The Ploughboy in Luck




How Doth the Little Crocodile

How doth the little crocodile

Improve his shining tail,

And pour the waters of the Nile

On every golden scale!


How cheerfully he seems to grin,

How neatly spreads his claws,

And welcomes little fishes in

With gently smiling jaws!
