Subject(s): Fairies; Supernatural; Elves
Dear little simple sprite, sweet little dimpled mite,
Golden your tresses and fine,
Eyes of the brightest blue, lashes of lightest hue,
Lips that are treasures divine;
Smiles which supremely glow with lights that seemly show,
Cheeks like red roses you own,
Manners alluring, grand; voice softly purring, and
Prettiest features I've known.
Long has a baby tot been my best "may-be" thought,
One of the feminine kind,
Heaven has sent me boys, the Lord has lent me joys
Greater than most of men find;
I'm not complaining, no, but love's remaining though
For such a sweet little mite,
You are the kind I own, I've had in mind alone,
Dear little sweet dimpled sprite.
