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.
