LITTLE NANNIE.
But this world, whose brightest day
Seems to us so dreary,
Nannie found all bright and gay,
Love-alight and cheery,—
Stayed a little while to play,
And went home unweary.
Seems to us so dreary,
Nannie found all bright and gay,
Love-alight and cheery,—
Stayed a little while to play,
And went home unweary.
When the summer-garden glows
With its blossoms many,
And we find a wee white rose
Lovelier than any,
We shall say, "How fair it grows!
This is little Nannie!"

Lovelier than any,
We shall say, "How fair it grows!
This is little Nannie!"
