Mamma and the Baby.

Reading edition

What a little thing am I!

Hardly higher than the table;

I can eat, and play, and cry,

But to work I am not able.

Nothing in the world I know,

But mamma will try and show me:

Sweet mamma, I love her so,

She’s so very kind unto me.

And she sets me on her knee

Very often, for some kisses:

Oh! how good I’ll try to be.

For such a dear mamma as this is.

Explore with AITake your curiosity a little further.
