Edgar Guest - Little Girls Are Best
Work rating: Low

Little girls are mighty nice,
  Take `em any way they come;
They are always worth their price;
  Life without `em would be glum;
Run earth`s lists of treasures through,
  Pile `em high until they fall,
Gold an` costly jewels, too--
  Little girls are best of all.

Nothing equals `em on earth!
  I`m an old man an` I know
Any little girl is worth
  More than all the gold below;
Eyes o` blue or brown or gray,
  Raven hair or golden curls,
There`s no joy on earth to-day
  Quite so fine as little girls.

Pudgy nose or freckled face,
  Fairy-like or plain to see,
God has surely blessed the place
  Where a little girl may be;
They`re the jewels of His crown
  Dropped to earth from heaven above,
Like wee angel souls sent down
  To remind us of His love.

God has made some lovely things--
  Roses red an` skies o` blue,
Trees an` babbling silver springs,
  Gardens glistening with dew--
But take every gift to man,
  Big an` little, great an` small,
Judge it on its merits, an`
  Little girls are best of all!
