OUR ONE-YEAR-OLD.
Reading edition
All the people love her, For she is our darling; Good and sweet and bright is she, Never cross nor snarling. Bob, the savage bull-dog, Lamb-like waits upon her; Hens and geese and turtle-doves Come to do her honor. "Bless her!" says the raven, "Oh! you cannot match her;" Swallows fly about her head, Kittens do not scratch her. For she is so gentle, All the folks obey her; Even little tom-tit comes His respects to pay her.
From the German.
