POOR DOLLY!

1. ’Tis very well to smile—now,But you gave me such a fright, When I missed you, darling Dolly,In the middle of the night.

2. I thought we played together,And you fell into a stream; Yet I said—just half awaking—“’Tis nothing but a dream,

3. “For safe upon nay pillow Lies her curly golden hair.” Then I reached my hand to touch you,

But I couldn’t fi nd you there

4. I felt so sad and lonelyThat I cried, but all in vain; So to see if I could fi nd you I went of to sleep again

5. Now, fancy! in the morning There you were, all safe and right; And nurse said, “Here’s poor Dolly,Been upon the fl oor all night!”

6. Your pretty curls are tangled,They were nice and smooth before; So promise, Dolly darling,You will tumble out no more!
