Rhyme Scheme: AABBCCDD EEFFGGHH GGIJKKLL MMGGNNAA| Tell me what is half so sweet | A |
| As a baby's tiny feet | A |
| Pink and dainty as can be | B |
| Like a coral from the sea | B |
| Talk of jewels strung in rows | C |
| Gaze upon those little toes | C |
| Fairer than a diadem | D |
| With the mother kissing them | D |
| - | |
| It is morning and she lies | E |
| Uttering her happy cries | E |
| While her little hands reach out | F |
| For the feet that fly about | F |
| Then I go to her and blow | G |
| Laughter out of every toe | G |
| Hold her high and let her place | H |
| Tiny footprints on my face | H |
| - | |
| Little feet that do not know | G |
| Where the winding roadways go | G |
| Little feet that never tire | I |
| Feel the stones or trudge the mire | J |
| Still too pink and still too small | K |
| To do anything but crawl | K |
| Thinking all their wanderings fair | L |
| Filled with wonders everywhere | L |
| - | |
| Little feet so rich with charm | M |
| May you never come to harm | M |
| As I bend and proudly blow | G |
| Laughter out of every toe | G |
| This pray that God above | N |
| Shall protect you with His love | N |
| And shall guide those little feet | A |
| Safely down life's broader street | A |
