Wishes

Kate Greenaway

Oh, if you were a little boy,

And I was little girl --

Why you would have some whiskers grow

And then my hair would curl.

Ah! if I could have whiskers grow,

I'd let you have my curls;

But what's the use of wishing it --

Boys never can be girls.

One can't help loving the whimsy of Kate Greenaway's sketches -- so breezy and bright! And to top it all off, we can relish in this charming little nursery rhyme. Are there any other non-toddlers as in love with nursery rhymes as I?
