Girls and Gladness: A Book of Gayety (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from Girls and Gladness: A Book of Gayety

Under my window, under my window, All in the Midsummer weather, Three little girls with fluttering curls Flit to and fro together: There's Bell with her bonnet of satin sheen, And Maud with her mantle of silver-green, And Kate with her scarlet feather.

Under my window, under my window, Leaning stealthily over, Merry and clear, the voice I hear, Of each glad-hearted rover. Ah! Sly little Kate, she steals my roses; And Maud and Bell twine wreaths and posies, As merry as bees in clover.
