Little Winnie,
Bless me! here's another baby,
Just as cunning as can be:
Eyes as blue as bonny blue-bells,
Breath as sweet as rosemary,
Smile so tiny, flashing sunbeam,
Hair of purest, finest gold,
Hands and shoulders full of dimples,
Little Winnie, eight months old.
Making funny, cooing speeches,
Nobody can understand—
Such a quaint and pretty language
Only spoken in baby-land.
Should I sing all day about her,
All her sweetness were not told—
She's a bud, a bird, a fairy,—
Little Winnie, eight months old.
