And the prettiest sash of pale rose-colored

satin

Tied at her waist in a butterfly-bow.

And her soft, flossy hair, almost a rose-yellow,

Like the roses we had in our garden last year,

Cut short round the fairest blue-veined little

forehead—

Oh, if Miss Marion wasn't a dear!

Just perfect she was, the mite of a darling,

From her flower of a head to her pink
