Two little darlings aloneA
Clinging hand in handB
Two little girls come outC
To see the wonderful landB
-
Here round the flaring stallsD
They stand wide eyed in the throngE
While the great the eloquent hucksterF
Perorates loud and longE
-
They watch those thrice blessed mortalsG
The dirty guzzling boysH
Who partake of dates periwinklesH
Ices and other joysH
-
And their little mouths go wide openI
At some of the brilliant sightsH
That little darlings may see in the roadJ
Of Edgware on Saturday nightsH
-
The eldest's name is SusannahK
She was four years old last MayL
And Mary Jane the youngestM
Is just three years old to dayL
-
And I know all about their cat andN
Their father and mother tooO
And Pigshead their only brotherF
Who got his head jammed in the flueO
-
And they know several particularsH
Of a similar sort of meP
For we went up and down togetherF
For over an hour we threeP
-
And Susannah walked beside meP
As became the wiser and olderF
Fast to one finger but Mary JaneQ
Sat solemnly up on my shoulderF
-
And we bought some sweets and a monkeyP
That climbed up a stick quite niceH
And then last we adjourned for refreshmentsH
And the ladies had each an iceH
-
And Susannah's ice was a pink oneI
And she sucked it up so quickR
But Mary Jane silently profferedS
Her ice to me for a lickR
-
And then we went home to motherF
And we found her upon the floorT
And father was trying to balanceH
His shoulders against the doorT
-
And Susannah said O and Please sirF
We'll go in ourselves sir AndN
We kissed one another and partedU
And they stole in hand in handB
-
And it's O for my two little darlingsH
I never shall see againV
Though I stand for the whole night watchingW
And crying here in the rainQ
