A Little Boy and a Little Girl
A little Boy and a little Girl
In an ecstasy of bliss,
Said the little Boy to the little Girl
Pray, give me just one kiss.
The Girl drew back in great surprise,
You’re a stranger yet, said she.
And I’ll give you just one kiss
When apples grow on a lilac tree.
The Boy was very sad at heart,
She was the only one.
The Girl was quite remorseful
At the terrible deed she had done.
So bright and early the very next morn
He was quite surprised to see
His little sweetheart, standing in the garden,
Tying apples to a lilac tree!
