Poems (Schiller)/Nellie Bartley
NELLIE BARTLEY
A darling little baby,A darling little girl,To both mamma and papa,A precious, priceless pearl.
Of course she looks like papa,Blue eyes and auburn hair;And lips like winter berries,And dimpled cheeks so fair.
I wonder if Miss NellieCould talk, what she would say;I guess she'd give you somethingTo laugh at all the day.
About the little pug nose,I cannot make a rhyme;I will when I learn to compose better,And that I'll do in time.
I guess I've nothing more, Nellie, To say just now to you;But I hope I'll see you soon, Nellie, And papa and mamma too.
