The clock on the mantel had just sounded one, And announced that another new day had begun. When hark! from the nursery, a solo of moans, Then a duet of sobs, with a chorus of groans, Broke in on the stillness and silence of night, And threw the whole house in commotion and fright. The mother’s quick ear first encountered the sound, She sprang up in bed, and out with a bound; But papa had oft witnessed such tumults before— And the louder the groans, why the louder he’d snore. And, oh! such a sight was ne’er witnessed before, The children were rolling about on the floor; The bedclothes were ruined, the carpet was spoiled, And their pretty nightdresses were rumpled and soiled.
