I watched the door so carefully—I didn't want to miss,
But it was only Mother dear who came to have a kiss.
I told my daddy the next day how silly I had been;
He said, "Your wish came more than true—-you saw the fairy Queen!"

Granny
When Granny comes to stop with us she always loves to play;
She talks to every single doll and knows just what to say.
You haven't got to tell her why and lots of things explain,
She's been a little girl like me and wants to be again!
She knows Eliza's got a cough and only has one lung,
She knows Matilda's very bad and says, "Put out your tongue."
She always has a penny for the sweetshop in the lane,
She's been a little girl like me and wants to be again!
She knows a lot of lovely songs and every nursery rime,
She always knows that three o'clock is such a hungry time;
She lets me hold all by myself the 'brella in the rain—
I'm glad she's been a little girl and wants to be again!
Blossoms
Little baby blossoms
Swinging in the trees,
Laughing at the daisies,
Kissing all the bees.
Little baby blossoms
Are very sweet and small,
But Mother's little blossom
Is sweeter than them all!
