1 Little modest violet blue, Spangled o’er with morning dew, Laughing in the sportive air, God has made thy leaves so fair; Little lambs that skip and play In the meadow fresh and gay, God protects you by His care, He has made your fleece so fair. 2 Little star with golden eye, God has placed thee in the sky; Little bird with glassy wing, God has taught thee how to sing; Little clouds that lightly rest, On the bosom of the west, Floating in the summer air, God has made your form so fair. 3 Little merry, laughing child, Ever playful, ever wild, Full of gladness, full of love, God has made thee, God above; He thy little spirit keeps, For He never, never sleeps; When thy little life is past, He will take thee home at last.
