<h2> THE BOTTLE TREE </h2>
<p>A bottle tree bloometh in Winkyway land—<br/>
Heigh-ho for a bottle, I say!<br/>
A snug little berth in that ship I demand<br/>
That rocketh the Bottle-Tree babies away<br/>
Where the Bottle Tree bloometh by night and by day<br/>
And reacheth its fruit to each wee, dimpled hand;<br/>
You take of that fruit as much as you list,<br/>
For colic's a nuisance that doesn't exist!<br/>
So cuddle me and cuddle me fast,<br/>
And cuddle me snug in my cradle away,<br/>
For I hunger and thirst for that precious repast—<br/>
Heigh-ho for a bottle, I say!<br/>
The Bottle Tree bloometh by night and by day!<br/>
Heigh-ho for Winkyway land!<br/>
And Bottle-Tree fruit (as I've heard people say)<br/>
Makes bellies of Bottle-Tree babies expand—<br/>
And that is a trick I would fain understand!<br/>
Heigh-ho for a bottle to-day!<br/>
And heigh-ho for a bottle to-night—<br/>
A bottle of milk that is creamy and white!<br/>
So cuddle me close, and cuddle me fast,<br/>
And cuddle me snug in my cradle away,<br/>
For I hunger and thirst for that precious repast—<br/>
Heigh-ho for a bottle, I say!<br/></p>
