“I’ve
heard that little girls by night
Grow faster than by day;”
A
little maiden said to me
In half inquiring way.
“O
yes, they do,” I said to her,
Who anxious glances cast,
“That
babies, when they are asleep,
Grow very, very fast.”
“Then
some night when I am asleep
I’m goin’ to lay, you know,
Awake
the longest, longest time
To see me when I grow.”
