HOP-SCOTCH by ISABEL ECCLESTONE MACKAY

First Line: ALL DAY I PLAY AT HOP-SCOTCH
Last Line: HOPPING AND HOPPING THERE!
Subject(s): CHILDREN; GIRLS; CHILDHOOD;

ALL day I play at Hop-Scotch
And hop and hop and hop,
And when I go to bed at night
I dream I cannot stop,

And all the world and everything
Is one big hop-scotch square,
With just one tired little girl
Hopping and hopping there!
