Baby’s Belongings
Here are the baby’s bonny blue eyes.
What shall we give her to see?
A calico doll and a parrotty poll,
As funny as funny can be.
Here are the baby’s little pink ears.
What shall we give her to hear?
A bell that will ring, and a bird that will sing,
And a brook that goes tinkling clear.
Here is the baby’s little wee nose.
What shall we give her to smell?
A hyacinth blue and a violet too,
And roses and lilies as well.
Here is the baby’s pretty red mouth.
What shall we give her to eat?
A sugary heart and a raspberry tart,
And everything else that is sweet.
And here are the baby’s little fat hands.
What shall we give her to hold?
A sunbeam? That’s right! and a rainbow bright,
And plenty of silver and gold.
