you dear little dog, all eyes and fluff!

How can I ever love you enough?

How was it, I wonder, that any one knew

I wanted a little dog, just like you?

With your jet black nose, and each sharp-cut ear,

And the tail you wag—O you are so dear!

Did you come trotting through all the snow

To find my door, I should like to know?

Or did you ride with the fairy team
