TWO little Darlings alone | A |
Clinging hand in hand | B |
Two little Girls come out | C |
To see the wonderful land | B |
Here round the flaring stalls | D |
They stand wide eyed in the throng | E |
While the great the eloquent Huckster | F |
Perorates loud and long | E |
They watch those thrice blessed mortals | G |
The dirty guzzling Boys | H |
Who partake of dates periwinkles | H |
Ices and other joys | H |
And their little mouths go wide open | A |
At some of the brilliant sights | H |
That little Darlings may see in the road | I |
Of Edgware on Saturday nights | H |
The eldest's name is Susannah | A |
She was four years old last May | J |
And Mary Jane the youngest | K |
Is just three years old to day | J |
And I know all about their cat and | L |
Their father and mother too | M |
And 'Pigshead ' their only brother | F |
Who got his head jammed in the flue | M |
And they know several particulars | H |
Of a similar sort of me | N |
For we went up and down together | F |
For over an hour we three | N |
And Susannah walked beside me | N |
As became the wiser and older | F |
Fast to one finger but Mary Jane | A |
Sat solemnly up on my shoulder | F |
And we bought some sweets and a monkey | N |
That climbed up a stick 'quite nice ' | - |
And then last we adjourned for refreshments | H |
And the ladies had each an ice | H |
And Susannah's ice was a pink one | A |
And she sucked it up so quick | O |
But Mary Jane silently proffered | P |
Her ice to me for a lick | O |
And then we went home to Mother | F |
And we found her upon the floor | Q |
And Father was trying to balance | H |
His shoulders against the door | Q |
And Susannah said 'O' and 'Please sir | F |
We'll go in ourselves sir ' And | L |
We kissed one another and parted | R |
And they stole in hand in hand | B |
And its O for my two little Darlings | H |
I never shall see again | A |
Though I stand for the whole night watching | S |
And crying here in the rain | A |
