The Little Girl We Didn't Want.

The Little Girl We Didn't Want
A little girl We didn't want
Came to rs one day;
We'd prayed the Lord that he nigh
send
A little boy our way.
We thought we'd name him after me-
Our plans we're knocked swry-
The day that girl we didH't want
Game floating from the sky.
The little girl we didn't want
Looked gravely up at me,
When we had closed her mothers
eyes,
And no one stayed 10 see
Looked at me from upon my breast
And, trusting, nestled there,
Not knowing che bed shattered dreami
That we had thought 20 fair.
The little girl we didn't want
Has often SAT with me,
Beside q grassy little mound
No others stay to zee;
And often In the glad old days,
With peaceful skies above,
We've played along 10 pleasant ways,
Filled with each others love.
The little girl we didn't want
Forsook me yesterday;
Another came and won her love,
And carried her away
A little girl we didn't want
Game unto her and me,
And I've q broken heart and weep,
Nor care who stops to seei
