Winsome wee and wittyA
Like a little fayB
Carolling her dittyA
All the livelong dayB
Saucy as a sparrowC
In the summer gladeD
Flitting o'er the meadowC
Came the little maidD
A youth big and burlyA
Loitered near the stileE
He had risen earlyA
Just to win her smileE
And she came towards himF
Trying to look graveG
But she couldn't do itH
Not her life to saveG
For the fun within herI
Well'd out from her eyesJ
And the tell tale blushesK
To her brow would riseJ
Then he gave her greetingL
And with bashful bowM
Said in tones entreatingL
Darling tell me nowM
You are all the sunshineN
This world holds for meA
Be my little valentineN
I have come for theeA
But she only titteredH
When he told his loveO
And the gay birds twitteredH
On the boughs aboveO
He continued pleadingL
Calling her his sunP
Said his heart was bleedingL
Which seemed famous funP
Then he turned to leave herI
But she caught his handH
And its gentle pressureI
Made him understandH
That in spite of teasingL
He her heart had wonP
And through life hereafterI
She would be his sunP

-
Now they have been marriedH
Twenty years or moreQ
But she's just as wilfulE
As she was beforeQ
And she's just as winsomeR
In his eyes to dayH
As when first be met herI
Mischievous and gayH
Will the years ne'er tame herI
Will she ne'er grow oldH
Does the grave man blame herI
Does he never scoldH
Does he never wearyA
Of her ready tongueL
Does he love her dearlyA
As when he was youngL
Yes she was the sunshineN
Of his youthful dayH
And her light laugh cheers himF
Now he's growing grayH
Happy little womanP
That time cannot tameS
Happy sober husbandH
Loving still the sameS
Happy in her lightnessT
When life's morn was brightH
Happy in her brightnessT
As draws on the nightH
