The Little He And She.

Topics: classic

Once there lived, I'm not sure where,         May be Arcadee,     Sweet-Heart and his mistress fair,         Little He and She;     And they danced a measure light,         Danced in very glee.     Hand in hand, a pretty sight,         Little He and She.     When they ceased his bright eyes fell,         Darling must we stay?     Can't we dance so happily         You and I for aye?     Then she clasped his hand again,         Whispered sweet and low,     "Dearest, always hand in hand         You and I will go."     So they danced with merry feet,         E'en in Arcadee,     Happier pair you ne'er will meet,         Little He and She.
