First Line: No rubies of red for my lady
Last Line: That sealeth a little one's love.
Subject(s): Mothers
NO rubies of red for my lady,
No jewel that glitters and charms;--
But the light of the skies,
In a little one's eyes,
And a necklace of two little arms.
Of two little arms that are clinging,
(Oh ne'er was a necklace like this!)
And the wealth of the world,
And love's sweetness impearled,
In the joy of a little one's kiss.
A necklace of love for my lady,
That was linked by the angels above,--
No other but this,
And a tender, sweet kiss,
That sealeth a little one's love.
