To Wilhelmine.
Wilhe—you know not Grandpapa,Were never fondled in his arms, or
Had kisses as thy sister's got,
Though thou hast all the little charms for.
And wilt thou ponder, if I loved
Thee as I loved thy sister Bessie,
Or father-eyed sweet Isobel,
Or grandpa's other pet, wee Jessie.
When thou can climb on Grandpa's knee,
Claiming the right to sit serenely,
Thy cherry lips and cheeks will show
How Grandpa loved his Wilhelmine.
