AFTER school I went to walk
Down a street quite far away
And I wore the new blue cloak
Mother finished just-to-day.

Teacher's house is in that street
And I thought perhaps if she
Just should meet me—or if I
Should meet her, how nice 'twould be!

Then—I saw her—and I hid
Round a tree till she went by—
Oh dear me, it's quite too bad
Teachers make a girl so shy!
