The Tea Party!

THE TEA PARTY.IN the pleasant green Garden

We sat down to tea;
“Do you take sugar?” and
“Do you take milk?”
She’d got a new gown on -
A smart one of silk.
We all were as happy
As happy could be,
On that bright Summer’s day
When she asked us to tea.

This vintage storybook image and poem, The Tea Party, is from Marigold Garden by Kate Greenaway, circa 1892.
