A Bunch of Roses

by John Banister Tabb 1845–1909

From Child Verse (1900)

Relationships

The rosy mouth and rosy toe
Of little baby brother
Until about a month ago
Had never met each other;
But nowadays the neighbours sweet,
In every sort of weather,
Half way with rosy fingers meet,
To kiss and play together.
