- | |
On such a night or such a night | B |
Would anybody care | C |
If such a little figure | D |
Slipped quiet from its chair | C |
- | |
So quiet Oh how quiet | E |
That nobody might know | F |
But that the little figure | D |
Rocked softer to and fro | F |
- | |
On such a dawn or such a dawn | G |
Would anybody sigh | H |
That such a little figure | D |
Too sound asleep did lie | H |
- | |
For Chanticleer to wake it | I |
Or stirring house below | F |
Or giddy bird in orchard | J |
Or early task to do | K |
- | |
There was a little figure plump | L |
For every little knoll | M |
Busy needles and spools of thread | N |
And trudging feet from school | O |
- | |
Playmates and holidays and nuts | P |
And visions vast and small | Q |
Strange that the feet so precious charged | R |
Should reach so small a goal | M |
