text_original: The parson loved children; he also loved walking, And off to the woods he was constantly stalking. To hear the sweet birds, and to see the green trees, And to do just exactly whate'er he might please. [Illustration] The children they followed him once to the wood,— (They loved the good parson, because he was good!)
