Subject(s): Admiration; Beauty


FORM so neat, tres petite,
That is Bessie, ah! so sweet.
Blue her eyes as bluest skies;
Just a glimpse of Paradise,
Just a glimpse, you know, and that --
That is Bessie.

Light and fair, with modest air,
And with grace so debonair;
Hair in curls; teeth like pearls;
Ah! she is a queen of girls,
A queen of girls, you know, and that --
That is Bessie.

Lips of rose, a cheek that glows,
And a dainty little nose, --
Every part a work of art;
And enshrined within my heart
An image sweet, you know, and that --
That is Bessie.
