“It came back again, and would run⟳ on the strings / When all were at rest⟳ in the house, / And backward and forward⟳, from treble to bass, / Sometimes in a trot, and sometimes in a race⟳— / Huzza for my musical mouse! / At night, when the house would be still, and the moon / Behind the high hill would retire⟳, / By harmony’s magical powers impress’d, / This gay little mousey would steal⟳ from its nest, / And run⟳ up and down on each wire.”

“It was so much better to have⟳ things that are alive, he said, than mere wooden playthings, that he would rather have⟳ his mice than all his other playthings together. “I wonder⟳ what this little mousey is thinking about,” said he, one day, as he sat looking at them; “he must be thinking about something, he sits so still. How nice it would be if we could look⟳ into the minds of such creatures, wouldn’t it mother?””

“Little mousey is off to school; / She wears her sweater because it’s cool. / Mother tells her to be good / And behave like⟳ little mouseys should. / Just before she is ready to leave⟳ / Mother Mouse tells her to fix⟳ her sleeve. / She gives her a lunch she knows will please⟳, / Because the box is filled with cheese.”
