Childhood's happy home, and other verses

by Lemuel Kayhart

Here’s to the blonde with blue eyes and white hair,

Here’s to the maid with complexion like snow,

Here’s to old Dinah as black as a crow.

Here’s to the lady and here’s to the lass,

Here’s to the lady who’s greener than grass,

Here’s to the sweetheart, and here’s to the beau,

Here’s to the lad who can reap, plough or sow.

Here’s to the maiden who’s rosy and fat,

Here’s to the miser, more like a starved cat,

Here’s to the lean, stout, long, slim and tall,
