Conductor, stop!" + And he'll give you such a jolly ride, for twopence, on the top. + + Sometimes by the 'bus's side small boys will run a mile, + Turning round just like the wheels, and hungry all the while:-- + "We've not had any breakfast,--won't you toss us down a brown?"-- + That's what they call a penny in the streets of London Town. + + + + +The Penny-Ice Man + + In summer when the sun is high, + And children's lips are parched and dry, + An ice is just the thing to try. + So this young man who comes, 'tis plain, + From Saffron Hill or Leather Lane, + A store of pence will quickly gain. + "A lemon ice for me," says Fred; + Cries Sue, "No, have a cream instead." + "A raspberry!" shouts Newsboy Ned. + "What fun! Although we're now in June, + It feels"--says Ned--"this afternoon, + Like eating winter with a spoon!" + + + + +COVENT GARDEN + + This is Covent Garden, + What a lively scene! + Here are flowers so pretty, + There are leaves so green. + These are busy buyers, + Busy sellers those, + Selling, buying, selling, + Everything that grows. + + Fruits and lovely blossoms + Hither come each day, + Fresh from _other_ gardens + Many miles away. + Cabbages potatoes, + Pears and apples too, + Grapes, and pines, and peaches, + All are here on view. + + So the air is scented + With the pleasant fruits, + With the bright-hued nosegays, + And the springing roots. + For the little street-boys, + Walking up and down, + It's almost like the country + Brought to London Town. + + + + +The Penny-Toy Man + + "Toys! toys! Penny Toys! + Toys for girls, and toys for boys! + Toys for dots who scarce can crawl, + Toys for youngsters stout and tall, + Toys for prince and peasant too, + Toys, my dears, for all of you! + Toys for girls and toys for boys! + Toys! toys! Penny Toys!" + + That is how the toyman talks, + As through London Town he walks; + Bawling out his toyman's song, + While he slowly moves along, + On the pavement with a tray + Which is filled, from day to day, + With new toys to catch the eye + Of the youthful passer-by. + + Sometimes it's a great big spider, + Like that Miss Muffet had beside her; + Sometimes it's a bat that flies, + Or a baby doll that cries; + Sometimes it's a frog that leaps, + Or a crocodile that creeps: + But whatever toy is shown, + For a penny it's your own. + + + + +The Orange Girl + + Orange-girl Kitty + Here you may see. + That she is pretty + All will agree. + "Three for a penny!" + That is her cry; + No wonder many + Hasten to buy. + + Orange-girl Kitty's + Mother, we're told, + Everyone pities-- + So feeble and old. + Poor mother's living + Kitty obtains, + Cheerfully giving + Her all that she gains. + + Orange-girl Kitty + Roams to and fro; + All through the city + She's known high and low. + When the sun's shining, + When the rain falls, + Never repining,-- + "Fine fruit!" Kitty calls. + + + + +The First of May + + Chimney Sweeps' Day, Blackbird is gay, + Here he is singing, you see, in the "May." + He has feathers as black as a chimney sweep's coat, + So on Chimney Sweeps' Day he must pipe a glad note. + + [Illustration: Jack in the Green] + + Jack-in-the-Green from door to door + Capers along with his followers four. + As May Day mummers are seldom seen, + Let us all give a copper to Jack-in-the-Green. + + + + +St. James's Park + + What a countrified scene we have here! + Who would think London Town was so near, + That its murmur comes borne on the breeze + To the listener under the trees? + + To this spot, to buy biscuits or buns, + Each city child joyously runs. + But the Park's greatest treat, they all vow, + Is a glass of new milk from the cow. + + Cried the drake to the ducks, "Here's a boy with a bun, + Come, make haste! we shall have quite a feast!" + "Would you mind," said a swan, "if we shared in the fun?" + "O dear no!" said he; "not in the least!" + It was surely through fear, not politeness at all, + That the drake made so civil a speech, + For that one penny bun, after all, was so small, + There was hardly a mouthful for each! + + From the ducks and the swans on the lake, to next page-- + A much quieter scene--you may pass: + Though Westminster Cloisters are hoary with age, + Yet green is their velvety grass, + And cheerily bright are their gables and peaks, + As they glow in the westering sun: + 'Tis some house in the Cloisters yon schoolboy seeks-- + Don't you wonder, now, which is the one? + + +[Illustration: The Inner Cloisters Westminster] + + + + +Westminster Abbey + + In all the land + A pile so grand + Is scarcely found + As this. Around + Its old grey walls + The shadow falls + Of bygone years, + And so one fears + To raise one's tone, + When one is shown + Some ancient tomb, + Half hid in gloom. + Beneath such stones + There rest the bones + Of monarchs bold, + Whose story's told + For you and me + In history. + + From kings of men + We wander; then + We're quickly brought + To kings of thought, + For poets lie + Interred hard by. + Here, too, repose + The bones of those + Who fought the foe + Long, long ago. + Brave knights were they; + And in the fray + They kept from shame + The English name, + And proved in fight + Great Britain's might. + Where they are laid + Their rest is made + As sweet as prayer + By music rare: + Over their head + The sleeping dead + Can daily hear + The anthem clear + Floating along + Like angel's song, + Until it dies + Like angel's sighs. + + + + +On the way to the British Museum + + Not far from the British Museum there stands + An apple stall, painted bright green, + Whence a penny may buy from the stall-keeper's hands + Three apples, all rosy and clean. + + Now the girls of St. George's great Charity School + Very often are passing that way, + For their governors wise make this very good rule-- + They must go for a walk every day. + + How wistful the glances they cast as they pass, + How they long for an apple to eat; + But their pockets are quite without pennies, alas! + To purchase so dainty a treat. + + These maidens have cheeks that are rosy and sweet + As the choicest of fruit on the stall, + And the very next time that we meet in this street, + I'll buy apples enough for them all. + + Goodness gracious! What a noise + Baby Bunting's bent on making; + It is quite enough to set + All the heads around him aching. + Still we're sure that Baby has + Many griefs if we could see 'em, + For with other babes he's come + Miles and miles to the Museum. + Baby Bunting thought, of course, + When he said good bye to mother, + That he'd pass in through the gates + With big sister and big brother. + But poor Baby finds, alas, + That his little hopes have flitted, + For the nasty notice says + "Babes in arms are not admitted." + + +[Illustration: In the British Museum NORTH WEST EDIFICE NIMROUD] + + + + +In the British Museum + + If you want to see all sorts of wonderful things, + Stuffed crocodiles, mammoths, and sloths, + Hairy ducks with four feet, and fishes with wings, + Fat beetles, and strange spotted moths; + + And enormous winged bulls with long beards, carved in stone, + Dug up from Assyria's sand, + And old blackened mummies as dry as a bone, + Discovered in Egypt's lone land, + + And beautiful statues from Greece and from Rome, + And other fine things without end,-- + You will find you can see half the world here at home, + If a day in this place you will spend. + + + + +The Underground Railway + + Who is this in the Weighing Chair? + Why, little Dot, I do declare! + Three stone five! "So much as that?" + Calls out Miss Dot; "then I _must_ be fat!" + + On this and the opposite page you see + Dot's mother, and brother, and sisters three. + They wait for an underground train to come + And carry them swiftly back to their home. + + Wonderful trains! From morn till night, + Clattering through tunnels without daylight, + Hither and thither they run, up and down, + Beneath the streets of London Town. + + Many prefer these trains instead + Of the cabs and "Busses" overhead, + For they run much faster than horses can. + Miss Dot's papa is a busy man, + + And goes to the City every day + By the "Underground,"--the quickest way: + And One Hundred Millions of people, 'tis found, + Are carried each year by the "Underground." + + + + +The Zoological Gardens + + Away we go to the famous Zoo' + With Bertie, and Nellie, and Dick, and Sue. + And we feel quite ready to jump for glee + When the wonderful birds and beasts we see. + The pelican solemn with monster beak, + And the plump little penguin round and sleek, + Have set us laughing--Ha, ha! Ho! ho! + And you'll laugh too, if you look below. + To the monkey-house then we make our way, + Where the monkeys chatter, and climb, and play; + At the snakes we peep, then onward stroll, + To talk to the parrots, and "scratch a poll," + And after all that, there will still be time + On the patient elephant's back to climb. + + + + +The Bear & the Buns + + Don't forget at the Zoo' + To take a good view + Of the funny old bear, + Who climbs out of his lair + Up a pole--Look, he's here, + With his figure so queer, + And his thick clumsy paws, + And his bun-seeking jaws. + On the end of a stick + Place a bun--"Now quick, + Master Bertie"--and, snap!-- + What an awful red trap!-- + The bun's out of sight, + But one more will delight + Father Bruin up there, + For his appetite's rare, + And he never says "No" + To a dozen or so. + + + + +The Milk Woman + + "Milk o! Milk o!" + Each morn she cries, + And little sleepers + Ope their eyes, + And wonder if pure milk is sold + By Betty here, for they've been told + That London milk + (How people talk!) + Is only water + Mixed with chalk! + + + + +The Muffin Man + + You've heard about the muffin man, + the muffin man, the muffin man, + You've heard about the muffin man + who lives in Drury Lane? + Well, here you see that muffin man-- + that celebrated muffin man, + And if you try his muffins, you'll be sure to buy again. + + + + +The Shoeblack Brigade + + If you wanted a boy to polish your shoes, + Which of these two, do you think, you would choose? + + They were once "Street Arabs," hungry, ill-clad, + And in very sore danger of going to the bad; + But now!--one might think that their fortunes were made, + They're so proud to belong to the Shoeblack Brigade. + + + + +The Blue-Coat Boys + + If you should pass through Newgate Street, + Bareheaded boys with coats of blue, + Among the crowd you're sure to meet-- + And all with yellow stockings too. + + Their coats are long as well as blue, + And when at football they do play, + They find them rather heavy too, + So tuck them up out of the way. + + In Christchurch passage will be found + The entrance to the School; and though + It looks so quiet, all around + We hear the crowd go to and fro. + + Above the doorway there you see + The Boy King's statue:--Would you know + Who founded this great school? 'Twas he, + More than three hundred years ago. + + + + +Gog and Magog in the Guildhall + + In the famous Guildhall + Mayor and Alderman all + Meet to banquet and feast, + And it's whispered that they + Aren't inclined in the least + From the table to stray: + For they're fond of good cheer, + And they meet with it here, + Where the wine + Is so fine, + And still better than that, + Where the turtle's rich fat + Tempts the guests when they dine. + Turtle soup's very good, + And a favourite food, + With the banqueters all + Who frequent the Guildhall. + + Two giants so tall + Guard the famous Guildhall. + (Gog is one, and the other + Is Magog his brother.) + Well, these giants so tall + Watch the feast, but can't call + For a crumb, + As they're dumb, + And not living at all! + Else 'twould seem scarcely fair, + That when good things were by, + Gog and Magog should stare + From their pedestals high, + For if placed at a table + At least they'd look able, + To dine there and then + Like two live Aldermen! + + + + +The Cat's-Meat Man + + He calls "Meat, meat!" + All down the street; + And dogs "bow-wow," + And cats "mi-ow," + While kittens sly + Come purring by, + As if to say-- + "Do serve us, pray, + The first of all, + For we're so small." + The man throws bits + Of meat to kits, + And cats, and dogs; + Then on he jogs, + And down the street + Still cries "Meat, meat!" + + + + +The Night Watch + + Policeman A, Policeman B, + Likewise Policemen C and D-- + All in a row, sedate and slow, + Away to their beats, tramp! tramp! they go. + + Now the first is beloved by Ann the cook, + And his manly face has a bashful look, + As he thinks, with a sigh, of the beer and the pie + He has had from those area steps close by. + + And here are three housemaids trim and slim; + Mr. B. knows Betty is fond of him; + But Policeman C loves Cicely, + And Dolly's engaged to Policeman D. + + + + +CHAPEL OF THE FOUNDLING HOSPITAL + + In Guildford Street, great London Town, + Is a Nursery, bigger than ever has been: + When each child grows up and leaves its walls, + Another new baby that day is seen + In the Foundling cots. Each little babe + Has no baby sister or baby brother, + And never shall know the anxious care + And tender touch of a loving mother. + But "Our Father," who gives their "daily bread" + To all of His creatures, caused kindly men + To build this home for famishing babes + From many a poverty-stricken den: + And here they are fed, and clothed, and taught, + And lift their voices in prayer and praise; + And here every Sunday the people flock + To hear the Anthem the Foundlings raise. + + AFTER CHAPEL, + See them all + Assembled in + The DINING HALL. + + The bugle sounds + E'er grace is sung,-- + Then fork and spoon + And lip and tongue + + Clatter, chatter,-- + Such a noise! + Oh! such happy + Girls and boys. + + + + +The Flower Woman + + "Flowers sweet and fair, Sir, + Flowers that any + Princess might wear, Sir-- + A bunch for a penny!" + Many a bunch + Must the flower-woman sell, + To buy food for herself, + And her children as well. + + + + +Cleopatra's Needle + + Upon the broad Embankment + You'll find a curious sight,-- + The children play around it + From morning until night; + And crowds of grown-up people + Come here to see it too, + 'Tis Cleopatra's Needle + Folks gather thus to view. + + In Mother's pretty work-box + There's no such needle shown; + This needle, brought from Egypt, + Is nothing but a stone. + How silently it watches + Old Thames go gliding by! + "You're very old," the River says, + "But not so old as I." + + Think you it longs for Egypt, + This wondrous solemn stone, + That stands and gazes at us + Each day so sad and lone? + Ah yes! when London's sleeping, + If monuments can dream, + It longs for Egypt's palm-trees, + And Nile's slow murmuring stream. + + +[Illustration: Cleopatra's Needle] + + + + +The Chestnut Woman + + "All hot! all hot! come buy! + Ten a penny is the price, + And if you my chestnuts try, + You'll declare they're very nice. + See how brightly burns my fire! + Hear the chestnuts hiss and crack! + Better nuts you can't desire + Than these beauties, big and black. + + "All hot!--if you are cold, + Have a pennyworth of heat, + Something nice and warm to hold, + Something nice and warm to eat. + Munch your chestnuts up, and then, + If your toes want warming too, + Say, 'I'll have another ten, + Just to warm me through and through." + + So the cheerful chestnut dame + To each chilly passer calls, + As she roasts above the flame + Fine round nuts like floury balls. + Hungry children soon draw near, + If a penny they have got, + And with warmth and food to cheer, + _They_ become "all hot! all hot!" + + + + +The 5th of November + + The fifth of November they bid you remember, + These bright little boys with the funny old Guy. + In his chair up and down he'll be borne through the town, + Then burned in a bonfire he'll be by-and-by. + + All those who remember the fifth of November + Some money will give to the boys with the Guy. + If all gave a penny, I wonder how many + Wheels, crackers, and squibs they'd be able to buy?

In 2001, the Project +Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure +and permanent future for Project Gutenberg-tm and future generations. +To learn more about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation +and how your efforts and donations can help, see Sections 3 and 4 +and the Foundation web page at https://www.pglaf.org. + + +Section 3.

Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg +Literary Archive Foundation + +Project Gutenberg-tm depends upon and cannot survive without wide +spread public support and donations to carry out its mission of +increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be +freely distributed in machine readable form accessible by the widest +array of equipment including outdated equipment. Many small donations +($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt +status with the IRS. + +The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating +charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United +States. Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a +considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up +with these requirements. We do not solicit donations in locations +where we have not received written confirmation of compliance. To +SEND DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any +particular state visit https://pglaf.org + +While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we +have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition +against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who +approach us with offers to donate. + +International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make +any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from +outside the United States. U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff. + +Please check the Project Gutenberg Web pages for current donation +methods and addresses. Donations are accepted in a number of other +ways including including checks, online payments and credit card +donations. To donate, please visit: https://pglaf.org/donate + + +Section 5. General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic +works. + +Professor Michael S. Hart was the originator of the Project Gutenberg-tm +concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared +with anyone. For thirty years, he produced and distributed Project +Gutenberg-tm eBooks with only a loose network of volunteer support. + + +Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks are often created from several printed +editions, all of which are confirmed as Public Domain in the U.S. +unless a copyright notice is included. Thus, we do not necessarily +keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition. + + +Most people start at our Web site which has the main PG search facility: + + https://www.gutenberg.org + +This Web site includes information about Project Gutenberg-tm, +including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary +Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to +subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks. |
