I found the book "The Pansy Speaker" in my deceased father’s family collection. The Pansy Speaker: Little Verses for Little Girls, has a pretty little girl in a blue dress and hat in a daisy patch on the inside cover titled “ I am a Little Fairy.”
A LIT-TLE FAIR-Y
I am a lit-tle fair-y
I flut-ter to and fro
(At least, if fair-ies flut-ter---
I think they do, you know!).
I am a lit-tle fiar-y,
I flit-ter here and there
(Do fair-ies real-ly flit-ter?
I don’t know, I de-clare).
There’s one thing I must men-tion,
And then a-way I’ll go:
I am a lit-tle fair-y---
I thought you’d like to know!
The books consists of several poems for small children many only a few verses long. Such poems as:
For a Very Little Girl, For a Tiny Tot, What is the Use, Mary’s Little Lamb, Our Girl’s Rabbits, Baby, Little Things, Kind Words, Dolly Town, My Dear Kitty, To the Pansy, Little Bo-Peep, and The Rose; to name a few.
“Little Bo Peep: Little Bo-Peep has lost her sheep, and can’t tell where to find them; Leave them alone, and they’ll come home And bring their tails behind them.
Little Bo-Peep fell fast asleep, and dreamed she heard them bleating, But when she awoke, ‘twas all a joke – Atlas! They still were fleeting.
Then up she took her little crook, determined for to find them; She found them, indeed, but it made her heart bleed, They’d left their tails behind them.
It happened one day, as Bo-Peep did stray Over the meadows hard by, That there she espied their tails side by side, All hung on a tree to dry.
She heaved a sigh, and gave by-and –by Each careless sheep a banging; And as for the rest she thought it was best just to leave their tails a-hanging.”
“Mary’s Little lamb
Mary had a little lamb Whose fleece was white as snow, And everywhere that Mary went That lamb is would not go;
So Mary took that little Lamb And put it on the spit, And soon it was so nicely done She ate it every bit. “
