THE LITTLE GIRL TO HER DADDY, by JANE TAYLOR Poet's Biography First Line: There, go to sleep, dolly, in your own mother's lap Last Line: For I think it's high time to have done with bye bye. Subject(s): Dolls; Toys | ||||||||
There, go to sleep, Dolly, in your own mother's lap; I've put on your night-gown and neat little cap; So sleep, pretty baby, and shut up your eye, Bye bye, little Dolly, lie still and bye bye. I'll lay my clean handkerchief over your head, And then make believe that my lap is your bed; So hush, little dear, and be sure you don't cry, Bye bye, little Dolly, lie still, and bye bye. There, now it is morning and time to get up, And I'll crumb you a mess in my own china cup, So wale, little baby, and open your eye, For I think it's high time to have done with bye bye. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...SUSIE, KIKI, ANNIE: 2 by MEI-MEI BERSSENBRUGGE THE DOLLS MUSEUM IN DUBLIN by EAVAN BOLAND PLASTIC BEATITUDE by LAURE-ANNE BOSSELAAR THE BECKETT KIT by LINDA GREGG THE DOLL BELIEVERS by CLARENCE MAJOR |
