OUR EDUCATION by AMOS RUSSEL WELLS

First Line: WHEN WE LEARN TO WRITE
Last Line: TO YOUNG LADIES WILL GROW!
Subject(s): GIRLS;

When we learn to write,
Don't you see, don't you see?
Then I'll write to Dolly
And she'll write to me.

When we learn the map,
Don't you know, don't you know?
Then Dolly and I
On our travels will go.

When we learn to count,
Don't you see, don't you see?
Then we'll spend my dollar,
Half for her, half for me.

When we learn to read,
Don't you know, don't you know?
Then Dolly and I
To young ladies will grow!
