MOTHER'S NONSENSE.
Where are the eyes of the Lovely One,—
The sweet blue eyes of the Lovely One?
Oh! here they shine
To comfort mine,
The cloudless eyes of the Lovely One.
The sweet blue eyes of the Lovely One?
Oh! here they shine
To comfort mine,
The cloudless eyes of the Lovely One.
Where are the hands of the Lovely One,—
The tiny hands of the Lovely One?
They grasp the air,
So small and fair,
Seeking angel's fingers, my Lovely One!
The tiny hands of the Lovely One?
They grasp the air,
So small and fair,
Seeking angel's fingers, my Lovely One!
Where is the mouth of the Lovely One,—
The cunning mouth of the Lovely One?
I kiss it so,
It cannot say no,
The sweet wee mouth of the Lovely One.
The cunning mouth of the Lovely One?
I kiss it so,
It cannot say no,
The sweet wee mouth of the Lovely One.
262
And where is the place of the Lovely One,—
The happy place of the Lovely One?
On mother's knee
High throneth he;
And her heart is the home of the Lovely One.
The happy place of the Lovely One?
On mother's knee
High throneth he;
And her heart is the home of the Lovely One.
