Stop! Stop! Pretty Water
I.
“Stop! stop! pretty water,”Said Mary one day,To a frolicsome brookThat was running away.
II.
“You run on so fast!I wish you would stay;My boat and my flowersYou will carry away.”
III.
“But I will run after;Mother says that I may;For I would know whereYou are running away.”
IV.
So Mary ran on;But I have heard sayThat she never could findWhere the brook ran away.
