Little Dutch girl
So plainly dressed
In white frock and apron
And cotton cloth cap.
Feet made for walking
The hard cobble streets
Hands that will carry
Provisions bought.
A life of simplicity
Quietly led
With homemade toys
A wooden dolly's bed.
You hear stories from
Maids in the house
Kitchen mischief
And musical mice.
When you're a woman
What will you choose
A life of domesticity
Or another route.
Love Mary ***
