A Life-Lesson
There! little girl; don't cry!They have broken your doll, I know;And your tea-set blue,And your play-house, too,Are things of the long ago;But childish troubles will soon pass by. --There! little girl; don't cry!
There! little girl; don't cry!They have broken your slate, I know;And the glad, wild waysOf your schoolgirl daysAre things of the long ago;But life and love will soon come by. --There! little girl; don't cry!
There! little girl; don't cry!They have broken your heart I know;And the rainbow gleamsOf your youthful dreamsAre things of the long ago;But Heaven holds all for which you sigh. --There! little girl; don't cry!
