The E-gyp-tians much re-vered of old]

It haunts the riv-er and the wood.]

The slim Jer-boa bounds a-long.]

On the John-Do-ry's back is seen.]

THE DAN-DE-LION CLOCK.

The dan-de-lion blos-soms gay
From the fields have passed away,
And in their place left heads of grey.
Now, Min-nie, won't it be good fun
For each of us to ga-ther one,
And sit and blow them in the sun?
