Grandma's Train


OH, Fanny, come and see the dress
I found in Grandma's box!
There's stuff enough in it to make
A hundred dollies' frocks!

And if I didn't fear that you
Would think me very vain,
I'd ask you dear, to walk behind
And help me with the train.

'Tis gold embroidered as you see,
With flowers red and blue,
And some day, if you're very good,
Why you shall wear it too!

For old Great-Grandma's wedding-day
This very dress was made,
A hundred years ago, at least,
Of richest court brocade.

But now-for Grandma dear to wear
I'm sure 'tis much too gay;
But just the thing for Dollie's clothes
I'll ask for it to-day.

I hardly think I'll get it though,
For Grandma may not see
How nice a thing 'twould he to give
The dress to you and me.
