+
+Little Sarah she stood by her grandmother's bed,
+"And what shall I get for your breakfast?" she said;
+"You shall get me a Johnny-cake: quickly go make it,
+In one minute mix, and in two minutes bake it."
+
+So Sarah she went to the closet to see
+If yet any meal in the barrel might be.
+The barrel had long time been empty as wind;
+Not a speck of the bright yellow meal could she find.
+
+[Illustration]
+
+But grandmother's Johnny-cake--still she must make it,
+In one minute mix, and in two minutes bake it.
+
+She ran to the shop; but the shopkeeper said,
+"I have none--you must go to the miller, fair maid;
+For he has a mill, and he'll put the corn in it,
+And grind you some nice yellow meal in a minute;
+But run, or the Johnny-cake, how will you make it,
+In one minute mix, and in two minutes bake it?"
+
+[Illustration]
+
+Then Sarah she ran every step of the way;
+But the miller said, "No, I have no meal to-day;
+Run, quick, to the cornfield, just over the hill,
+And if any be there, you may fetch it to mill.
+Run, run, or the Johnny-cake, how will you make it,
+In one minute mix, and in two minutes bake it?"
+
+[Illustration]
+
+She ran to the cornfield--the corn had not grown,
+Though the sun in the blue sky all pleasantly shone.
+"Pretty sun," cried the maiden, "please make the corn grow."
+"Pretty maid," the sun answered, "I cannot do so."
+
+[Illustration]
+
+"Then grandmother's Johnny-cake--how shall I make it,
+In one minute mix, and in two minutes bake it?"
+
+Then Sarah looked round, and she saw what was wanted;
+The corn could not grow, for no corn had been planted.
+
+[Illustration]
+
+She asked of the farmer to sow her some grain,
+But the farmer he laughed till his sides ached again.
+"Ho! ho! for the Johnny-cake--how can you make it,
+In one minute mix, and in two minutes bake it?"
+
+The farmer he laughed, and he laughed out aloud,--
+"And how can I plant till the earth has been ploughed?
+Run, run to the ploughman, and bring him with speed;
+He'll plough up the ground, and I'll fill it with seed."
+
+[Illustration]
+
+Away, then, ran Sarah, still hoping to make it,
+In one minute mix, and in two minutes bake it.
+
+[Illustration]
+
+The ploughman he ploughed, and the grain it was sown,
+And the sun shed his rays till the corn was all grown;
+It was ground at the mill, and again in her bed
+These words to poor Sarah the grandmother said:
+"You shall get me a Johnny-cake--quickly go make it,
+In one minute mix, and in two minutes bake it."
