Cousin Fauntleroy



My little cousin Fauntleroy,
     Came from the city yesterday;
And early quite this morning ran
     Out in the dewy grass to play.

All country life was new to him,
     The jeweled drops he did not know;
And hastening to the door he said:
     “Mama, what makes the grass sweat so?”
