A LITTLE GIRL IN SCHOOL by FRANCES VIOLA HOLDEN

First Line: A LITTLE GIRL IN SCHOOL
Last Line: HOW MERRY WERE THE DAYS!
Subject(s): GIRLS; HAPPINESS; LIFE; PRAISE; TIME; JOY; DELIGHT;

A LITTLE girl in school —
How merry were the days!
So simple every rule,
So easy to earn praise!

Life was a sunlit pool,
The hours were fairy fays;
A little girl in school —
How merry were the days!

Long years of glory? Who'll
Not deem them waifs and strays
Compared with life all cool,
And void of new dismays;
A little girl in school —
How merry were the days!
