You leave them all night — oh ! what a great feast. They must stand near the fire, all covered up tight, With a cloth that is dainty and snowy and white. 4 Then when morning comes you beat Hght the eggs, And mix with the batter, oh ! mix from the dregs ; Then into the hot rings you pour them with care. If browned to a turn, what with them can compare ? 5 Now you and the hen have done what you could. And made us a breakfast so light and so good. But chick's lost her eggs, we've all had our fill : Now don't you wish, chickie, that you had kept still ? 1 84 COOKING GARDEN. MOULDING SONG. SELECTED. iv--^— ^- I.
