Three children sliding on the ice,

a
Three children sliding on the ice,
Upon a summer's day,
As it fell out, they ali fell in,
The rest they ran away.

b
Now had these children been at home,
Or sliding on dry ground,
Ten thousand pounds to one penny
They had not all been drowned.

c
You parents all that children have,
And you that have got none,
If you would have them safe abroad,
Pray keep them safe at home.
