Through the grassy meadows, / Betty, Kate, and Ray, / Carry papa's dinner, / While he rakes the hay.
Round about the flowers, / Hums a busy bee, / Busy birds are feeding / Hungry birdies wee.
Busy in the hay-field, / Papa rakes the hay, / Ready for his dinner, / It is high noon-day.
"Hear the roosters crowing, / Twelve o'clock," says Ray, / "Yes, indeed," says Katie, / "That is what they say."
"Papa will be waiting, / Hungry too, I know, / Hurry little brother, / We must not walk slow."
So they go to papa, / Through the sweet new hay. / When he eats his dinner, / Home again go they.
