Explore "The Cuckoo Clock" by Mary Louisa Molesworth on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
"That after supper time has come, / And silver dews the meadow steep. / And all is silent in the home, / And even nurses are asleep, / That be it late, or be it soon, / Upon this lovely night in June / They both will step into the moon. "
"Very well," said the cuckoo. "You would like to look about you a little on the way, perhaps, Griselda, as we shall not be going down chimneys, or anything of that kind just at present."
