Then, in stately shining windows,Hung with misty laces white,Or in low-roofed cottage doorwaysOpening out into the night; With their merry voices silent,And their playthings put aside, Bright eyes, blue or black or hazel,All with eager watching wide, Stand a hundred little maidens,Looking out… … A PEEP. Where did you come from ? I did nt know They had a baby in there ;Well! what pretty blue eyes you have, And nice little curls of hair!
