What Little Maidens Are Made Of

Who would ever think that so much can go on in the soul of a young girl?

"Excuse me - I don't want to be inquisitive - but should I be right in thinking  that you are a Daughter of Eve?"

"My name is Lucy," said she, not quite understanding him.

"But you are - forgive me -  you are what they call a girl?" asked the Faun.

"Of course I'm a girl!" said Lucy.

-C.S. Lewis "The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe"

Frisky as a lambkin,

Busy as a bee-

That's the kind of little girl

People like to see.

Modest as a violet,

As a rosebud sweet-

That's the kind of little girl

People like to meet.

Bright as is a diamond,

Pure as any pearl-

Everyone rejoices in

Such a little girl.

Happy as a robin,

Gentle as a dove-

That's the kind of little girl

Everyone will love.

Fly away and seek her,

Little song of mine,

For I choose that very girl

As my Valentine.

-Emilie Poulsson
