A SONG OF GOLDEN cuRLs.

Stay little, golden curls, twinkling eyes
of blue;
STAY and see the vioiets, for they are kin
to you.
Lineer where the frolic winds around
the gardens race,
Cheeks like lovely mirrors, where the red
rose sees its face.
Sweet! Sweet
All the birds are singing;
Sweet. Sweet"
The bloSSom-bells are ringing;
Kisses from the red rose,
And kisses from the white,
kissing yoV,good morning,
And kissing SlsN good night!
Stay a little, golden curls-brightening eyes
of blue;
The violets are listening for the lovely
steps of you:
The white rose bids you welcome, the red
rose calls you sweet,
And the daisies spread a carpet for the
falling of your feet.
Sweet Sweetr
All the birds singing;
Sweet, Sweet"
The blossom-bells are ringing;
Kisses from the red rose,
And kisses from the white
kissing you good morning,
And kissing you good night
