The Clothes-Pin Dollies

by Camilla J. Knight

Two stately little ladies these, as ever you have 

known,

With petticoats so very stiff that they can stand

alone.

Each has a smiling, rosy face upon her wooden

head,

A dainty cap adorning each, with frills, and 

ribbon red.

Their gowns, all made of scarlet silk, are beau-

tiful to see;

Aunt Lou dressed them for Marjorie when she

was only three.

At night, the ladies are undressed, and each is

then arrayed

In night-gown white, with cap and cape, and

on the pillow laid.

When Marjorie jumps into bed, she takes them 

in her arms,

And hugs them tight to keep them safe from

all the dark's alarms.

 On birthdays, and at Christmas time, all kinds of

dolls she gets;

But these, her little clothes-pin dolls, are still

her dearest pets.
