THANK YOU, LITTLE BOY
For the loan of golden head,
For the simple joy,
For the frolic on the bed,
Thank you, Little Boy!
For the simple joy,
For the frolic on the bed,
Thank you, Little Boy!
Though my hair in silver flows,
Though my joints are stiff,
I can play at buffaloes,
Trample, bellow, sniff.
Though my joints are stiff,
I can play at buffaloes,
Trample, bellow, sniff.
Hurried, worried all the day,
Longing for the night,
How my breast at once was gay
When you flashed in sight!
Longing for the night,
How my breast at once was gay
When you flashed in sight!
When you could have played with Dick,
Humphrey, Jack, and Sue,
It was sweet of you to pick
Me to play with you.
Humphrey, Jack, and Sue,
It was sweet of you to pick
Me to play with you.
Trust me most of all to share
Frolic here with you,
Thinking me the fondest bear,
Dearest kangaroo!
Frolic here with you,
Thinking me the fondest bear,
Dearest kangaroo!
For the breath of Long Ago,
For the cup of joy,
For the change to buffalo,
Thank you, Little Boy!
For the cup of joy,
For the change to buffalo,
Thank you, Little Boy!
