THE LITTLE HAND.

-...,,.....
Thine is a little hand
A tiny little hand
But if it clasp
With timid grasp
Mine own, ah me well can understand
The pressure of that little hand
Thine is a little mouth
A very little mouth
But ah what bliss
To steal a kiss, South
Sweet as the honeyed zephyrs of the
From that same rosy little mouth!
Thine is a little heart
A little auttering heart
And love me with its whole untutOred art
That palpitating little heart!
Thou art little girl
Only a little girl
Yet art thou worth
The wealth ofthe earth
Dimonds and ruby. sapphire gold and
pearl
To me thou blessed little girl!
