"Oh, Dolly! How can you be naughty?
You've been naughty the whole day through;
You spoiled your white dress in the gutter,
And stuck up my pictures with glue;
And when in a corner I put you,
And plead with you so to be good,
You stared in my face with a simper,
And acted so saucy and rude.
I have tried so hard to be patient—
For I'm sorry to punish you so;
And I love you, my poor naughty Dolly,
Much more than you ever can know.
I hope you will think the day over;
I am going to bed now—good-night.
Be a good little Dolly to-morrow,
And try all the day to do right."
