1.’Tis very well to smile-now，But you gave me such a fright，When I missed you，darling Dolly，In the middle of the night.
2.I thought we played together，And you fell into a stream；Yet I said-just half awaking-“‘Tis nothing but a dream.”
3.For safe upon nay pillow Lies her curly golden hair.“Then I reached my hand to touch you，But I couldn’t find you there.
4.I felt so sad and lonely That I cried，but all in vain；So to see if I could find you，I went off to sleep again.
5.Now，fancy！in the morning There you were，all safe and right；And nurse said，“Here‘s poor Dolly，Been upon the floor all night！”
6.Your pretty curls are tangled，They were nice and smooth before；So promise，Dolly darling，You will tumble out no more！
