Oh, little girls' eyes are lovely things,
They make me think of butterflies' wings,
Of pansies brown and violets blue,
And periwinkles winking azure, too.
Oh, little girls' eyes are sweet and fair
As rainbows scattered all over the air.
I think they blossomed in paradise --
Those periwinkles, pansies, violets wise.
