A LITTLE corner with its crib,
A little mug, a spoon, a bib;
A little tooth so pearly white,
A little rubber ring to bite.

A little plate all lettered round,
A little rattle to resound,
A little creeping — see! she stands!
A little step 'twixt outstretched hands.

A little doll with flaxen hair,
A little willow rocking chair;
A little dress of richest hue,
A little pair of gaiters blue.

A little school day after day,
A little school-ma'am to obey;
A little study — soon't is past,
A little graduate at last.

A little muff for winter weather,
A little jockey hat and feather;
A little sack with funny pocket,
A little charm, a chain, a locket.

A little while to dance and bow,
A little escort homeward now;
A little party somewhat late,
A little lingering at the gate.

A little walk in leafy June,
A little talk while shines the moon;
A little reference with papa,
A little planning with mamma.

A little ceremony grave,
A little struggle to be brave;
A little cottage on a lawn,
A little kiss — my girl is gone.
