1.
The dolls had a tea party: wasn’t it fun!
In ribbons and laces they came one by one;
We girls set the table, and poured out the tea;
And each of us held up a doll on our knee.

You never saw children behave half so well;
Why nobody had any gossip to tell!
And—can you believe it? for badness that day,
No dolly was sent from the table away.
