    “Boats sail on the rivers, and ships sail on the seas, but clouds that sail across the sky, are prettier far than these.”

    Boats sail on the rivers
    And ships sail on the seas,
    But clouds that sail across the sky.
    Are prettier far than these.
    Rain, rain go away
    Come again another day.
    Little Bessie wants to play.
    The lily has a smooth stalk.
    Will never hurt your hand.
    But the rose upon the briar.
    Is lord of the land.
