Jessie

Listen in the reader

Jessie is both young and fair, Dewy eyes and sunny hair; Sunny hair and dewy eyes Are not where her beauty lies.

Jessie is both kind and true, Heart of gold and will of yew; Will of yew and heart of gold— Still her charms are scarcely told.

If she yet remain unsung, Pretty, constant, docile, young. What remains not here compiled? Jessie is a little child!
