She tried to scratch out both my eyes
(It is true!)
Tried to pull off both my ears,
My nose, too;
Scolded me—I thought she said
She would leave upon my head
Not a solitary hair—
Meant it, laughing—didn’t care!
Well, it rather hurt, but IMurmured not, nor made outcry;Let her pull, and scratch, and scold;(She is only six months old).
Well, it rather hurt, but I
Murmured not, nor made outcry;
Let her pull, and scratch, and scold;
(She is only six months old).
