' And the Angel told Tom, if he’d be a good boy.'
' And by came an Angel who had a bright key.' ' And wash in a river and shine in the sun.' ' When my mother died, my father sold me.' ' He’d have God for his father and never want joy.' ' So if all do their duty, they need not fear harm.' ' And he opened the coffins and set them all free.' ' Then down a green plain leaping, laughing they run.' |
