His little face
face can be:
There's jam upon each rosy cheek
and on his chin and nose,
arms are brown as beechnuts and
there's mud upon his toes:
barefoot, wades the brook near
by, whene'er it pleases him,
eyes are bright as dew drops
and he's full of life and vim;
hat is ragged on the edge, his
hair sticks through the crown,
There's grass stains on his rompers
and perhaps | ought to frown:
oh! how can I when he laughs,
£0 happy, glad, and free,
snuggles up all jam and
and loves and kisses me.
