TIP-A-TOE

TIP-A-TOE,
See them go;
One, two, three –
Chloe, Prue, and me;
Up and down,
To the Town,
A Lord was there,
And the Lady fair.
And what did they sing?
Oh, “Ring-a-ding-ding;”
And the Black Crow flew off
With the Lady’s Ring.

This vintage storybook image and poem, Tip-A-Toe, is from Marigold Garden by Kate Greenaway, circa 1892.
