No. 1 The yellow fog lay thick and dim O’er London city far and wide ; It tilled the spacious parks and squarei, Where noble lords and ladies ride. No. 2 Two little boys in threadbare clothes, Stood white and trembling by her side, And listening to his mother’s words, The youngest of them sadly cried. No. 3 They stumbled up the broken stairs, And ]iushed their way along the street, Whilst out of sight, an Angel bright, Walked close behind, with shining feet. No. 4 But little thought those orphan boys, When to their wretched bed they crept That all the night an Angel bright, Would watch beside them as they slept. No. 4a-Eflfect Slide. No. 5 The Minister said, ' ‘ Dust to dust And then the poor boys left the place— Two friendless boys in London town ; Oh 1 was not theirs a hapless case t No. 0 “Oh, yes ; wc’ll work like honest hoys, And if our mother should look down. She’d like to see us with a broom. And with a -’lossing of our own.”
