EDITOK'S PREFACE.
THE publishers have divided this work of
IJroebel in order to bring it into volumes of
convenient size. The edition of Wichard Lange
and the former English translations have the
form and style of a music book. In separating
the contents for this division, the mottoes, com-
mentaries, and mother communings have been
placed in the first volume, which may be called
the Mother's volume. The songs and music are
reserved for the present volume, which is the
Children's volume. What it contains is suitable
for children's ears and voices.
As already mentioned in the preface to the
first volume, the illustrations are reproduced
from the large and well-executed cuts of the
Wichard Lange edition, long since out of print,
and now very difficult to procure even from an.
antiquarian bookstore. The pictures in that edi-
tion are large enough (6 by 9 inches) to show
the minute details. In order to preserve these
details the publishers of the present edition
(size of page 3J by 5 inches) have been at the
pains of repeating ajid ^enlarging the parts of
vi EDITOR'S PREFACE.
certain of the pictures, making in some cases
two or three new pictures, and bringing out
what is obscure with greater distinctness than
is found even in the Lange edition. Inasmuch
as the children are expected to find all these par-
ticulars in their study of the illustrations, and
trace out the motives of the artist, this feature
of the work will be appreciated by all kinder-
gartners.
The publishers have also enlarged the Lange
pictures to four times the size of tho orjyuml, and
printed thorn on a series of charts for use in the
kindergartens, furnishing them at a moderate
price.
The new music herewith offorod will justify
itself as a substitute for that which has boon dis-
carded.
I have already stated in my preface to tlio
former volume the reasons that have nuulo it
desirable to obtain now and more poetic transla-
tions of these Froebolian songs. I have gono
so far as to say that tf4 most of tho literal imita-
tions of FrooboFs poetry have contributed in a
greater or less dogroo to ruin tho pootin souso of
teachers and pupils/' I boliovo that I shall bo
sustained in this opinion by all kimlorgw inors
possessed of genuine poetic tnwto, but I think
that tho versions hore offorod will be found sum
to commend thomsolvos to all who have a" lit-
erary conscience

MISS BLOWS PREFACE.
THE poems in this volume are not literal
translations of those in the original Mother Play,
but attempts to cast Froebel's ideas into truly
poetic form. A few songs have been added, in
order to develop the thoughts suggested in some
of the more important plays, and a series of Wan-
dering Games has been given to illustrate Froe-
bel's method of genetic evolution. A full ac-
count of the development of these games, un-
der FroebeFs own guidance, will be found in the
Pedagogics of the Kindergarten, pp. 24=7-254.*
Since most of the melodies in the original
Mother Play have been condemned by competent
critics, new music is given in this volume. This
music consists in part of melodies written by
composers of acknowledged merit, and in part
of selections from folk songs made by Miss Eu-
phemia M. Parker and approved by Mr. George
L. Osgood. A few of the best melodies in the
original Mother Play have been retained, and,
finally, some of the music of Karl Reineke has
been used*

viii MISS BLOW'S PREFACE.
Grateful acknowledgments arc duo to Miss
Eleanor Smith, and to her publishers (Mossrs Mil-
ton Bradley and Tkomas Charles), for permission

Songs, Weather Songs, Songs of the Seasons,
Christinas, East or, and Thanksgiving Songs,
Flower Songs, Gift Songs, Patriotic Songs, etc.,
as collaterals to The Greeting, The Littlo Gar-
dener, and The Pigeon- House*) ; and I earnestly
hope that hor interest in and generosity toward
the Mother Play may increase tho influence of
her already well-known and popular collodions.
I desire also to express my sincere thanks to
Mrs. Emily Huntington. Miller for Tho Littlo
Mciidon and The Stars and Tho Farmyard, as
well as for her kindness in adapting Tho Farm-

MISS BLOW'S PREFACE. i^
Miss Emilie Poulsson's charming volume of
Finger Plays is a valuable collateral to the
Motlier Play. I would call particular attention
to The Little Men, The Little Plant, and A Little
Boy's "Walk., as songs to be used in connection
with The Greeting, Naming the Fingers, The Lit-
tle Gardener, and The Pigeon House.

THE PIGEON-HOUSE
OH, see my pigeon-house so high T
Come., my pretty pigeons, haste to fly !
To pleasant fields they swiftly go,
So "busy gleaning to and fro,
And when theycome back to rest at night,
Again I close my pigeon-house tight.
Here, in the home so snug and warm,
Live the little children safe from harm.
They pass the day in merry play,
Through woods and meadows green they stray,
But when they come back at night to rest,
Father and mother and home are best.
"When evening shadows slowly creep,
Softly coo the pigeons, nestling to sleep
The gentle mother, wise and dear,
Her happy children gathers near,
And sings to the baby on her breast,
" The world is pleasant, but home is best."

THE FAMILY.
This is the mother., so busy at home,
Who loves her dear children, whatever may
come.
This is the father, so brave and so strong-,
Who works for his family all the day long-.
This is the brother, who 11 soon be a man ;
He helps his good mother as much as he can.
This is the sister, so gentle and mild,
Who plays that the dolly is her little child.
This is the baby, all dimpled and sweet ,
How soft his wee hands and his chubby pink feet !
Father, and mother, and children so dear,
Together you see them, one family here.

NUMBERING THE FINGERS
THE thumb is one,
Tlie pointer two,
The middle finger tliree !
Ring 1 finger four,
Little finger five,
And tliat is all, you see.
!N~ow we have put them all to bed,
A quiet sleep to take,
And softly sing a lullaby,
Lest they too early wake.
Lullaby, lullaby, lullaby,,
All hushed and still the birdies sit
Upon the branches high.
The flowerets hang their pretty heads,
The wind sings lullaby,
Lullaby, lullaby, Ixillaby.

THE WILD FIG
the green oak wood,
Where the acorns lie,
Up comes a wild pig,
Grunting low and high.
Children do not often see
Such a piggy- wig as he f
With his long and slender snout
See him rooting all about,
Poking here, and poking there,
Grubbing up his simple fare,
Roots and nuts and acorns sweet,
Such as piggies love to eat.
Hark I a rustling m the bush '
Off goes piggie with a rush ;
Grunting, squealing, there he goes,
Where the forest thickest grows ;
And the hunter, brave and gay,
Will not dine on pig to-day !

But thanks for his labour we owe to him ;
He chops the trees with a whack ! whack I

And burns the wood to the charcoal black.
Knives and hatchets, shovels and rakes,
Shoes for the pony, the blacksmith makes.
The bellows blow and the hammers beat,
But he must have charcoal the iron to heat.

THE BRIDGE
THE brook is flooring merrily ;
Its waters swiftly glide ;
A little child, looks longingly
Beyond its rippling- tide.
Across tlie "brook are pretty ferns,
And oh, such lovely moss T
And flowers that seem to nod at him
And beckon, him across
But dark the water ilows between ;
The stream is deep and wide ;
IN~o way the little child can find
To reach the other side.
But soon there comes a carpenter,
~\Vho works with busy hands.,
And builds a "bridge that safe and strong
Above the water stands.
" Oh., thanks to yon, good carpenter 1 "
The child calls out in glee ;
** ^Now I can reach tne other side
"Where I have longed to be/*
Tlien on the bridge tne happy cliild
Runs back and forth, at will,
Althougli beneath, so deep and wide,
The brook is flowing still.

Where the milk-white daisies grow
On the hillsides, warm and steep ;
We can nibble grass, or sleep
Come, old Rover, lead the way
You will keep us safe to-day/'
Lazy pig, with sleepy eyes,
On the straw contented lies ;
Chickens peep and pigeons coo ;
Loud the cock is crowing too ;
Ducks in glossy feathers dressed,
Quack and chatter with the rest.

We must keep you safely here !
Bird and bee, you need not stay :

THE CHURCH
HARK ' tlie church, bell's pleasant sound .
Let us go, 1013* child,
There, where every Sunday morn
Rings the summons mild.
Through the lofty windows there
Rainbow light is streaming fair ;
From the doors, wide open thrown.
Peals the organ's solemn tone.
OHOKUS *" Come ! ** says the silver bell,
" Come,, where the voices tell
Of the God, that dwells above,
Of the God, whose name is love/*
Let your heart be pure and clean
When to church you go,
For all sweet and lovely things
There you'll learn to know.
Learn of God, who gives us all
Birds that sing and streams that fall,
Sun and moon in glorious might,
Trees and flowers in beauty bright.
CHORUS ^ Come ! " says the silver bell, etc.
God. who sends the merry breeze
Blowing here and there,
Sends the mighty storms that rage
Through the upper air :
Yet so loving kind is he,
Every smallest leaf you see
Knows his care and does his Trill,
Owns his wisdom, working still.
CHORUS fh Come f ** says the silver bell, etc.
In the church, so calm,, so still,
When your childish heart
"With a solemn joy doth fill.,
That, too, is his part.
He, who loving parents gave,
Sister sweet and brother brave,
Gives the power to love and bless,
Bringing joy and happiness.
CHORUS " Come ! " says the silver bell, etc
Once he sent, to dwell on earth ,
Jesus, blessed child,
From the hour that gave him birth.
Pure and undefiled.
Try, like him, my little child,
To be gentle, kind, and mild :
For 'tis thus your love youll show
To the God who loves you so.
CHORUS " Come \ " says the silver bell, etc.

THE LITTLE ARTIST.
OH, now we'll draw
such, pretty tilings 1
See T little birds with
outspread wings,
The sloping hill o'er which
they fly
To reach a tree with branches
high
The tree these birdies love the
best,
Because it holds their own dear
nest.
That was the birdies' home,
and here
"We'll draw the children's home,
so dear;
And leading to the very door
Are all these steps one, two, three, C- 1
four.
153
The window now well draw, wli^re we
Look out so many tilings to see.
O window clear and bright, 'tis yon
That let the lovely light pass through !
"When sunbeams on this mirror fall,
The light -bird dances on the wall.
jSTow, if you could but look
behind
The house, this rippling brook
you'd find,
Where swim so many silvery
fish
And if to cross the brook you
wish,
Why, here's the bridge, so
safe and dry.
Shall we go over, you and I ?
What's this ? A watering can like
ours,
To fill with water for the flowers.
153
And now we draw a ladder see f
A long, long ladder it shall be.
Xo wonder baby thought he soon
With this could reach the shining moon.
Now here's a eosey pigeon house,
Xot hid in any leafy boughs,
But set upon this pole so tall,
Here safely live the pigeons all,
And coo with voices
soft and low
As in and out their
house they go.
Down far below them on the
ground
The hen and chickens walk
around.
And see! a rabbit nest
appears ;
O bunny, you have such long
ears!
154
And here's the farmyard gate,
which we
Should always close so carefully.
N"ow, for the carpenter, we'll draw
A hammer see ! and this sharp saw ,
And always gratefully well tell
About the house he built so well.
More friends like him we
have, so kind,
We like to bring them to
our mind.
So, baker, since our bread you bake,
An oven now for you well make
And, miller, for the wheat you grind,
This flour barrel you shall find.
Good farmer, here's your harrow
now;
We'll draw, besides, the useful
plough ;
155
A waggon, too, to load with hay,
Or grain, or fruit, some
harvest day.
And now we draw a wheel alone,
Where hub and tire and spokes are
shown.
But look! Far over in the
sky
A dazzling wheel shines
there on high
The glorious sun, whose spreading rays
Bring many golden, happy days.
And when night darkens all the "blue,
The twinkling stars come peeping
through.
Our eyes the wondrous windows
are
Through which we gaze on sun
and star;
And sometimes what we see on
356
"We find in beauty nearer "by ;
For star shapes glitter 111 the tnow,
And star flower^ tor u the meadows show.
X/Jl
And now well draw the moon, whose
light , ,
Makes beautiful the silent night* ^L*/
Sometimes a crescent, thin and clear,,
Sometimes a big, round, silver spheie:
But whether round, or like a bow,
It is the same dear moon, we know
Xow we will draw but one thing more.
And that shall be the big church door
But drawing is such happy play,
We'll surely diaw again some day.
