Plain Jane

Text by G. M. George

ILLUSTRATED BY G. M. C. FRY

LONDON: GRANT RICHARDS 1903

That model Miss, Jemima Jane Was very good, and very plain; Her parents noticed with delight How neat she was, and how polite. Sometimes her young companions came And begged she'd join them in a game. But it was never any use; She'd make some civil, quiet excuse, And, "Dear Mama," she'd whisp'ring say, "I love plain sewing more than play; I hope you'll always think of me As your own gentle, busy Bee!" Jane rose at five. "What for?" you ask; And I reply, "To con her task." She breakfasted on milk and bread, Nor ever asked for aught instead; "I like it best, because," said she, "'Tis wholesome for a child like me." She used to think it quite a treat, To put her bed and chamber neat; But she enjoyed--oh, better far! Saying her tasks to her Mama.
