A NURSERY HOUR, by ANNE LINDSAYPoet's Biography
First Line: Up and down, up and down Last Line: Baby sleeps upon my knee. Alternate Author Name(s): Barnard, Lady Anne
Up and down, up and down, Baby's riding on my knee, Crumpling up my silken gown In her glee, in her glee; Striking with her rosy fists, Striving with her tiny wrists.
Trot my nag, trot my nag, Baby rides more gently now; All her ardor seems to lag Lay her low, lay her low. Let her steed unbridled be, Baby sleeps upon my knee.
