I have a dear, lovely, little sister My dear sister is almost half my age Both halves that make a whole, how I miss her Menace she is, ought' to keep her in a cage She's a sister from another mother She is my greatest weakness that ever lived I would never allow her to suffer She was the best gift that was ever gived Short dirty blond hair, big bright glossy blue eyes Only eight years of age, child born in may Acute little sister who always tries, Pretends to be an angel every day A dear little sister who holds my love More beautiful than the angels above
