MY LITTLE GIRL.

My little girl is a dear wee girl,
Who has two big blue eyes
The angels fashioned them for her
From patches in the skies.
My little girl has soft round cheeks,
AS red they can be-
The angels from poppy bed
Removed them stealthi1y.
My little girl has hair of gold,
Like tassels on the com
An angel quick of wing and bold,
Stole it when she was born. n
My little girl laughs all the day
The song of pebbly streams
The angels stole her this from where
The naiads have their dreams.
And the angels stole a tear that fell
From Mary's tired eyes,
That fell to earth for little girls,
A pearl to crystalline.
This tear the angels placed within
- My little ones sweet breast,
To make the mother heart where Christ
Was first a welcome guest.
The pretty things the angels stcse
For my wee girl, ah! they
And swiftly pass away.
But-from the tear on Marys cheek
My little one is given
The light and shade to mark the way
That brings us nearer heaven.
