LITTLE GIRLS.
copyright 1920. by Edgar A. Guest

Little girls are mighty nice
Take 'em any way they come
They are always worth their price,
Life without 'em would be glum:
Run sarths lists OF treasures through
Pile EN- high until they fall
Gold an costly Jewels, too,
Little girls are best OF all.
Nothing equais 'em on easthl
I'm an old man an | know,
Amy little girl Is worth
More than all the gold below;
Eyes o. blue or brown or gray,
Raven hair or golden curls,
There's no JOY on earth today
Quite 80 fine as little girls.
Pudgy nose or freckled face,
Fairy-like or plain to see,
God has surely blessed the place
Where little girl may be:
They're the jewels OF His crown
Dropped to earth from heaven above,
Like angel souls sent down
To remind us OF His love.
God has made some lovely things
Roses red an skies o. blue,
Trees an babbling silver springs,
Gardens glistenin with dew
But take every gift 10 man,
Big an little, great an small,
Judge 1t on It's merits. an
Little girls arc best OF all!
