Page 42—Dolly Land

My Lady Doll
My Lady-doll is pretty,
My Lady-doll is sweet;
I like to show my Lady-doll
To every one I meet

My Sweet Dolly Rose
O sweet, so sweet,
Is my Dolly Rose!
Just all that I know
My Dolly knows;
And when I am glad
The darling is glad
And when I am sad
The darling is sad.
How dear she is,
O, nobody knows,
No, no, not even
My precious Rose

Polly's Dolly
Shining eyes, very blue,
Opened very wide;
Yellow curls, very stiff,
Hanging side by side;
Chubby cheeks, very pink,
Lips red as holly;
No ears, and only thumbs—
That's Polly's Dolly.

Pretty Doll
Oh dear! what a beautiful doll
My sister has bought at the fair
She says I must call it Miss Poll,
And make it a bonnet to wear.
Oh pretty new doll, it looks fine!
It's cheeks are all covered with red.
But pray will it always be mine?
And please may I take it to bed?
How kind was my sister to buy
This dolly with hair that will curl;
Perhaps, if you want to know why,
It's because I've been a good girl.
POEMS FOR CHILDREN

Puss's Doll
Now Puss had a doll
That Dame Trot bought to please her,
And gave it the beautiful
Name of Louisa
And when Kitty was lonesome
Or wanted to play,
She'd cry for Loo! Loo!
In a comical way.
The dolly was petted,
Was kissed and caressed,
Though often quite roughly
It must be confessed
And so pleased was Miss Puss
With Louisa's fair charms,
She took her cat's meat,
With the doll in her arms

Pussy and Doggy Fighting for Dolly
And once, I remember,
Oh, sad was the day,
The cat answered back
In an impudent way.
And tray was so jealous,
The two had a fight,
And between them the doll
Was a terrible fright
