Here stands little, little Mary,
With her face of winning grace,
Chattering tongue that runs apace,
And her ways contrary
Who so gay as Mary?
With her laughs of rippling glee
Brimming o'er with melody,--
Bonny, blithesome Mary.
Household pet is Mary--
Such a merry, joyous sprite,
Filling all our home with light--
Pretty winsome Mary!
Mischief-loving Mary,
Busy as the busiest bee,
Full of sunshine, life, and glee
Is our heart's sweet Mary!
