Part 1 — THE LOVABLE CHILD
Reading edition
Frisky as a lambkin, Busy as a bee— That's the kind of little girl People like to see.
Modest as a violet, As a rosebud sweet— That's the kind of little girl People like to meet.
Bright as is a diamond, Pure as any pearl— Everyone rejoices in Such a little girl.
Happy as a robin, Gentle as a dove— That's the kind of little girl Everyone will love.
Fly away and seek her, Little song of mine, For I choose that very girl As my Valentine.
Emilie Poulsson [1853-
