Somebody’s Darling.
Soft bright eyes,1
Of the sky’s own blue,2
A soul like a star3
That twinkles through ;4
A dear little face5
With a dimpled chin,6
A dear little heart,7
Not hard to win ;8
A tiny tongue,9
That chatters all day ;10
Tiny white hands11
For ever at play—12
Blithe as a fairy,13
Small and as fleet,14
True and tender,15
Loving and sweet.16
Locks like the sunshine17
Crowning her head,18
Cheeks of pale peach-bloom,19
Lips rosy-red ;20
Soft airs about her21
Fresh as the Spring,22
Ever new fancies23
Fleet on the wing ;24
Life in her laughter,25
Love in her wiles,26
Health in her gladness,27
Heaven in her smiles—28
Patiently gentle,29
Playfully wild,30
More than an angel,31
Ever a child.32
