I had a little nut tree, nothing would it bear
But a silver nutmeg, and a golden pear.
The King of Spain's daughter came to visit me,
And all was because of my little nut tree.
I skipped over water, I danced over sea,
And all the birds of the air, they couldn't catch me.
There is one that has a head without an eye,
And there's one that has an eye without a head:
You may find the answer if you try;
And when all is said,
Half the answer hangs upon a thread!
Christina G. Rossetti.
Do You Guess it is I?
I am a little thing;
I am not very high;
I laugh, dance and sing,
And sometimes I cry.
I have a little head
All covered o'er with hair,
And I hear what is said
With my two ears there.
On my two feet I walk;
I run too with ease;
With my little tongue I talk
Just as much as I please.
