Kissing a Sunbeam

Little Baby Brown Eyes
    Sitting on the floor,
Everything around him
    Ready to explore;
Plumpy, dumpy, roly-poly,
    Pretty Baby Brown Eyes
Sitting on the floor!

Flutters-in a Sunbeam
    Through the open door
Like a golden Butterfly,
    Silently before
Plumpy, dumpy, roly-poly
    Pretty Baby Brown Eyes
        Sitting on the floor.

See his little fingers
    Eager for a prize,
And the hungry gladness
    Laughing in his eyes
Plumpy, dumpy, roly-poly
    Pretty Baby Brown Eyes
        Capturing a prize!

Plucking at the Sunbeam
    With his finger-tips
Tenderly he lifts them
    To his rosy lips,
Plumpy, dumpy, roly-poly
    Pretty Baby Brown Eyes
Kissing the pink tips

Brother of the Sunbeam,
    With his browny eyes,
Greet your silent Sister
    Stealing from the kiss
Plumpy, dumpy, roly-poly
    Pretty Baby Brown Eyes,
        Kiss her as the she flies!

Mamma catches Sunbeams
    In your laughing eye,
Hiding in your dimples,
    Peeping, very sly!
Plumpy, dumpy, roly-poly
    Pretty Baby Brown Eyes,
        She’ll kiss them on the fly!”
