Poems (Smith)/Edna Clair

EDNA CLAIR.

---

Edna Clair is a darling,—
 A precious little pet;
A tender flower blossoming,
 We can ne'er forget.

Edna Clair is beautiful,—
 Every one must admire.
May she ever be dutiful,
 And all that you desire.

Edna Clair is loving,
 Gentle, lovely, and true:
May she prove a blessing
 Ever, mother, to you.

Edna Clair, kind father,
 God hath given to thee:
Teach her to love her Saviour,
 That she may happy be.

Edna Clair, sweet baby,
 Grandma bids adieu.
Some day, little beauty,
 I may meet with you.
