ON A YOUNG LADY'S SIXTH ANNIVERSARY, by                     Poet's Biography
First Line: Baby babbles - only one
Last Line: You will soon put up your hair!
Alternate Author Name(s): Murry, John Middleton, Mrs.; Beauchamp, Kathleen
Subject(s): Birthdays


Baby Babbles -- only one,
Now to sit up has begun.

Little Babbles quite turned two
Walks as well as I and you.

And Miss Babbles one, two, three,
Has a teaspoon at her tea.

But her Highness at four
Learns to open the front door.

And her Majesty -- now six,
Can her shoestrings neatly fix.

Babbles, babbles, have a care,
You will soon put up your hair!
