The Reverend Peaceful Purrer, Dean of Cheshire

Take my head on your shoulder, daddy, turn your face to the west

The day has been long without you, daddy, you have been such a while away

But I've got you, and you've got me. So everything seems right

Why do your big tears fall, daddy? Mother's not far away

(Effect) I often seem to hear her voice falling across my play

And it sometimes makes me cry, daddy, to think it's none of it true

I'm sometimes afraid to think, daddy, when I am big like you

If, when we get up to Heaven, and mother was waiting there

Daddy, good night, dear daddy, good night

When finished, Tommy looked at it with glee

The breastplate now he turned towards the light

Patterns of every shape, from neck to waist

A plan of vengeance struck him sharp and quick

All further movement suddenly he checked

Mr Morpheus' sweet slumbers disturbed by a flea

He continues the search, even in his nightcap

Determined to find him he turns up the bed

Ah! he feels him in his stocking. He gets up

And, by holding the candle close, discovers his enemy

Fearing that he may hop away, he wets his finger

He has got him at last, but he may hop yet

With the aid of a pin he burns him in the candle

He's hit upon a little plan the household cat to vex

And so poor pussy's tail he dips, with movement not too quick

And Mr Manikin he steals away just as he came

In sore perplexity she felt, and pawed it o'er and o'er

And then she tried how it would taste, it almost turned her sick

While thus engaged, the little elf again comes on the scene

She down upon him like a short precipitates herself

You could not, from his brow to chin, a paintless spot have picked

He fastens the dog to the back of the chair

The dog is interested in something at a distance

'Can I go, mother? Mother, mayn't I go?'

'Isn't it grand, mother? isn't it fine?'

Mr Noble was not 'drunk,' yet far from sober

'Joining a Band of Hope, aye; but I'll put a stop to it'

Tommy tenderly picked up his pledge card

Mrs Noble went about her work in a much happier spirit

'Well, Tommy, what did you hear?' asked his father

'O, God, bless my father and take away all his sins'

'Sir, will you allow me to sign the pedge?'

They seek the Workhouse when Aged and Infirm
