Show Sunny Brow and Frownie Face. Dear Sunny Brow is a winsome elf, Sweet natured all day long; She always greets you with a smile Or snatches of a song. She whispers in the children's ear Bright things to make .them glad, And always has some pleasant thought To cheer them when they're sad. She helps them when they're "cross" and "bad" , To smother naughty words . And murmurs, "Sing instead of fret," And points them to the birds. Now, Frownie Face is a wicked sprite. Who loves to pout and fret. Who says the summers are "too hot," The winters are "too wet." There's not a thing that suits his mood: He pines for "something more," And claps his hands fc'nen children fight And pout and slam tne 'door.- - -He tells them things 'to "make" them cry And plagues them all day long. And never yet one saw him smile Or heard him sing a song.. Dear little children, girls and boys, Now, tell me, frank and true. Is Sunny Brow or Frownie Face The elf that stays with you? If Frownie Face, pray, bid him go, And on him shut the door; If Sunny Brow, oh, hold her fast And love her more and more. There are sadder hearts than yours; go comfort them and that will comfort com-fort you. ' |
