Dolladine

A. Beach

This is her picture — Dolladine —

The beautifullest doll that ever was seen!

Oh, what nosegays! Oh, what sashes!

Oh, what beautiful eyes and lashes!

Oh, what a precious perfect pet!

On each instep a pink rosette;

Little blue shoes for her little blue tots;

Elegant ribbons in bows and knots.

Her hair is powdered; her arms are straight,

Only feel, she is quite a weight!

Her legs are limp, though; — stand up, miss! —

What a beautiful buttoned-up mouth to kiss!
