The Sewing Doll

The Sewing Doll

by Amelia De Wolfjers

There was a little milkmaid, and 

Her pails were spools of thread;

A thimble-holder as a hat

She wore upon her head.

And there were pins of black and white

Around the brim stuck in,

And to her anyone could go

To get a safety pin.

Her apron white and dainty was

A little needle-book;

The rod her milk-pail-spools were on 

Was just a crochet-hook.

And people called this pretty maid

"Our useful little Poll'';

She was a help to every one,

This little "Sewing Doll."
