With the doll lost, mid binding tears,
When the grown-ups said to me,
You are much too big for dollies now,
1t is time to put them by:''
i But the heartache yields to the tender plea
! OF There, little girl, don't cry
There, little girl, don't cry" know
1t is only a wayside song,
! BY singer who fathomed a childish heart
| With its burden of pain and wrong.
But he told Of the days we at times forget
! In world where young things die
! And it all comes back on the sweet refrain
OF There, little girl, don't cry"
