My Dearest Is A Lady

: RHYMES CONCERNING "MOTHER"
: Boys And Girls Bookshelf

BY MIRIAM S. CLARK



My dearest is a lady, she wears a gown of blue,

She sits beside the window where the yellow sun comes through;

The light is shining on her hair, and all the time she sews,

She sings a song about a knight, a dear, brave knight she knows.



My dearest is a lady--and oh, I love her well!

Full five and twenty times a day this very tale I tell;

For I'm the knight in armor, a shield and sword I wear,

And Mother is my lady, with the light upon her hair.
