Living
The Re-echo Club: as by James Whitcomb Riley (Christmas)
From The Re-echo Club
Living
There, little girl, don't cry!
You are awfully broke, I know;
And of course you've spent
Far more than you meant,
And lots of bills you owe.
But at Christmas time one has to buy--
There, little girl, don't cry, don't cry!
