Text
A Necklace of Love
by Frank Lebby Stanton
No rubies of red for my lady,
No jewel that glitters and charms,
But the light of the skies, in a little one’s eyes,
And a necklace of two little arms.
Of two little arms that are clinging
(Oh ne’er was a necklace like this!),
And the wealth o’ the world, and love’s sweetness impearled,
In the joy of a little one’s kiss.
A necklace of love for my lady,
That was linked by the angels above.
No other but this and a tender, sweet kiss
That sealeth a little one’s love.
