Her little brother, who astride
Upon the dog is proud to ride,
The other brother seems to share
Their mutual darling's innocent delight --
To parents sweet indeed is such a sight!" General wear. Most of red cloth spine is missing. Sewing repair. Minor penciling on blank side of leaves. Minor rust stains from a paper clip.
