There was a girl that lost things	A
Nor only from her hand	B
She lost indeed why most things	A
As if they had been sand	B
	-
She said But I must use them	C
And can't look after all	D
Indeed I did not lose them	C
I only let them fall	D
	-
That's how she lost her thimble	E
It fell upon the floor	F
Her eyes were very nimble	E
But she never saw it more	F
	-
And then she lost her dolly	G
Her very doll of all	D
That loss was far from jolly	G
But worse things did befall	D
	-
She lost a ring of pearls	H
With a ruby in them set	I
But the dearest girl of girls	H
Cried only did not fret	I
	-
And then she lost her robin	J
Ah that was sorrow dire	K
He hopped along and bob in	L
Hopped bob into the fire	M
	-
And once she lost a kiss	N
As she came down the stair	O
But that she did not miss	N
For sure it was somewhere	O
	-
Just then she lost her heart too	P
But did so well without it	Q
She took that in good part too	P
And said not much about it	Q
	-
But when she lost her health	R
She did feel rather poor	S
Till in came loads of wealth	R
By quite another door	F
	-
And soon she lost a dimple	E
That was upon her cheek	T
But that was very simple	E
She was so thin and weak	T
	-
And then she lost her mother	M
And thought that she was dead	U
Sure there was not another	M
On whom to lay her head	U
	-
And then she lost her self	V
But that she threw away	W
And God upon his shelf	V
It carefully did lay	W
	-
And then she lost her sight	X
And lost all hope to find it	Q
But a fountain well of light	X
Came flashing up behind it	Q
	-
At last she lost the world	Y
In a black and stormy wind	Z
Away from her it whirled	Y
But the loss how could she mind	Z
	-
For with it she lost her losses	A2
Her aching and her weeping	B2
Her pains and griefs and crosses	C2
And all things not worth keeping	B2
	-
It left her with the lost things	A
Her heart had still been craving	B2
'Mong them she found why most things	A
And all things worth the saving	B2
	-
She found her precious mother	M
Who not the least had died	D2
And then she found that other	M
Whose heart had hers inside	D2
	-
And next she found the kiss	N
She lost upon the stair	O
'Twas sweeter far I guess	E2
For ripening in that air	O
	-
She found her self all mended	F2
New drest and strong and white	X
She found her health new blended	G2
With a radiant delight	X
	-
She found her little robin	J
He made his wings go flap	H2
Came fluttering and went bob in	L
Went bob into her lap	H2
	-
So girls that cannot keep things	A
Be patient till to morrow	I2
And mind you don't beweep things	A
That are not worth such sorrow	I2
	-
For the Father great of fathers	J2
Of mothers girls and boys	K2
In his arms his children gathers	J2
And sees to all their toys	K2
