Playing With Fire

Title:     Playing With Fire
Author: Elizabeth Turner [More Titles by Turner]

The friends of little Mary Green
Are now in deep distress,
The family will soon be seen
To wear a mournful dress.

It seems, from litter on the floor,
She had been lighting straws,
Which caught the muslin frock she wore,
A sad event to cause.

Her screams were loud and quickly heard,
And remedies applied,
But all in vain, she scarcely stirr'd
Again, before she died!

[The end]
