Arthur Symons - Gipsy Mother’s Song
Work rating: Low

I gather the crackling sticks in the wood, 
And I roast the hedgehog over the fire; 
My little one shall have dainty food, 
As much as her little heart can desire. 

My little one shall have ribbons red, 
And great gold ear-rings, a locket of gold, 
And a red and gold shawl for her little head, 
And I`ll buy her a doll when the baskets are sold. 

I`ll seal for my little one, some fine day, 
A little white dog with a ribbon and bell; 
When I`ve sold the trinkets on all my tray, 
I`ll buy her a bird in a cage as well. 

O! a bird in a cage is each little one 
That runs to the window to see us pass; 
My little one loves to lie in the sun, 
And chirp to the horse as he munches the grass.
