The Sea-side Doll.

Topics: classic

There's one doll for winter,         When ice comes and snow;     Another for spring time,         When primroses grow.     A dolly for dark nights,         To take into bed;     And one for the morning,         Till lessons are said.     But this is the dolly         To play on the sands,     You see both a pail and         A spade in her hands.
