Rosamond and Mildred, playing on the floor—
I see!
Laughing blue eyes, dimpled face,
Laughing brown eyes, ways of grace,
Chubby hands that interlace—
I see!
Rosamond and Mildred, trying hard to walk—
I see!
Clinging now to mamma's dress,
Trembling in new happiness,
Then at last a sweet success—
I see!
Rosamond and Mildred, born the same glad year—
I know!
Cousins; each in her own way
Growing wiser every day,
Full of promise as of play—
I know!
Rosamond and Mildred, parting to go home—
Good-bye!
Each a little picture fair,
Carrying blessing everywhere.
Grateful are we for our share—
Good-bye! Good-bye!
