_No, here she is! here she is!
Happy and gay,
With singing and ringing
To join in our lay._

Where's Gerald? where's Gerald?
He's out in the snow;
The stars shining keenly,
The cold wind doth blow.
_No, here he is! here he is!
Happy and gay;
With singing and ringing
To join in our lay!_
[Illustration]
Where's Evey? where's Evey?
She's lost in the fog;
Go seek her, go find her,
With man and with dog.
_No, here she is! here she is!
Happy and gay;
With singing and ringing,
To join in our lay!_
[Illustration]
Where's Henry? where's Henry?
Poor Henry's afloat;
The sea-waves all round him,
High tossing his boat.
_No, here he is! here he is!
Happy and gay;
With singing and ringing
To join in our lay!_
[Illustration]
Where's Charley? where's Charley?
In China dwells he;
He wears a long pig-tail,
Perpetually drinks tea.
_No, here he is! here he is!
Happy and gay;
With singing and ringing,
To join in our lay!_
[Illustration]
Where's Johnny? where's Johnny?
In Nubia, I know;
He has climb'd a tall palm-tree,--
A lion's below.
_No, here he is! here he is!
Happy and gay;
With singing and ringing,
To join in our lay!_
[Illustration]
Where's Mary? where's Mary?
Young Mary's asleep;
And round her white pillow
The little dreams creep.
_No, here she is! here she is!
Happy and gay;
With singing and ringing,
To join in our lay!_
[Illustration]
Where's Bertha? where's Bertha?
She has wings--she can fly!
She has flown to the bright moon--
Look up there and spy!
_No, here she is! here she is!
Happy and gay;
With sinking and ringing,
To join in our lay!_
[AD INFINITUM.]
