The little. girl who owns me used to
tuck me in my bed
And whisper that she loved me.

And told me to be careful not to
kick the covers off,
For fear l might be croupy, or
should catch the whooping
cough.
But yesterday d stranger came and
took my cherished place
A waxen, fax haired stranger, with
a bright, unbattered face,
The little girl who owns me let me
drop upon the floor,
And Rugged the stylish stranger,
and has thought of me no
more;
And all last night, neglected. l have
slept beside the wall.
Unhappy and untidy. poor Samantha

one year ago my fortune seemed to
be serenely bright
The little girl would hold me in her
arms from morn TO night;
She made me share her play with
her, she tried 10 make me
eat,
She showed me 10 all callers-and
they vowed that l was sweet;
I had four sets of dresses. and a
parasol and fan,
And she would say that | was her
beloved Samantha Ann.
