LITTLE DOLLY DIMPLE

Thomas Nelson Page

Little Dolly Dimple, In her green wimple, Knows all the philosophers know: That fire is hot

And ice is not, And that sun will melt the snow. She has heard that the moon is made of green cheese; But she‘ s not quite certain of this.

She knows if you tickle your nose you will sneeze, And a hurt is made well by a kiss. I wish I were wise as Dolly is wise, For mysteries lie in her deep, clear eyes.
