LITTLE WHITE LILY 209 



There were eight or ten tiny caterpillars. 



They were already eating the cabbage. 



They had broken from the Butterfly's eggs. 



At first the Caterpillar was very much 

 ashamed. 



Then she was glad. 



For she thought that perhaps she, too, would 

 be a butterfly after all. 



LITTLE WHITE LILY 

 droopeth drooping 



Little White Lily 

 Sat by a stone, 

 Drooping and waiting 

 Till the sun shone. 



Little White Lily 

 Sunshine has fed. 

 Little White Lily 

 Is lifting her head. 



Little White Lily 

 Droopeth with pain, 

 Waiting and waiting 

 For the wet rain.
