LITTLE DOLLY DIMPLE

By Thomas Nelson Page

Little Dolly Dimple,

In her green wimple,

Knows all the philosophers know:

That fire is hot

And ice is not,

And that sun will melt the snow.

She has heard that the moon is made of green cheese;

But she‘ s not quite certain of this.

She knows if you tickle your nose you will sneeze,

And a hurt is made well by a kiss.

I wish I were wise as Dolly is wise,

For mysteries lie in her deep, clear eyes.
