Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDCD EFEFFBFB GEGEHBHB| I bought my little grandchild Ann | A |
| A bright balloon | B |
| And I was such a happy man | A |
| To hear her croon | B |
| She laughed and babbled with delight | C |
| So gold its glow | D |
| As by a thread she held it tight | C |
| Then let it go | D |
| - | |
| As if it gloried to be free | E |
| It climbed the sky | F |
| But oh how sorrowful was she | E |
| And sad was I | F |
| And when at eve with sobbing cry | F |
| She saw the moon | B |
| She pleaded to the pensive sky | F |
| For her balloon | B |

| O Little One I pray that you | G |
| In years to be | E |
| Will hold a tiny baby too | G |
| And know its glee | E |
| That yours will always be the thrill | H |
| And joy of June | B |
| And that you never never will | H |
| Cry for the moon | B |
