The Loveable Child

Emile Poulsson

 

Frisky as a lambkin,

Busy as a bee—

That’s the kind of little girl

People like to see.

 

Modest as a violet,

As a rosebud sweet—

That’s the kind of little girl

People like to meet.

 

Bright as a diamond,

Pure as any pearl—

Everyone rejoices in

Such a little girl.

 

Happy as a robin,

Gentle as a dove—

That’s the kind of little girl

Everyone will love.

 

Fly away and seek her,

Little song of mine,

For I choose that very girl

As my Valentine.
