"Bonnibelle! Bonnibelle!

Listen, listen, while we tell

A sweet secret all may know,

How a little child may grow

Like a happy wayside flower,

Warmed by sun, fed by shower,

Rocked by wind, loved by elf,

Quite forgetful of itself;

Full of honey for the bee,

Beautiful for all to see,

Nodding to the passers-by,

Smiling at the summer sky,

Sweetening all the balmy air,

Happy, innocent, and fair.

Flowers like these blossom may

In a palace garden gay;

Lilies tall or roses red,

For a royal hand or head.

But be they low, or be they high,

Under the soft leaves must lie

A true little heart of gold,

Never proud or hard or cold,

But brave and tender, just and free,

Whether it queen or beggar be;

Else its beauty is in vain,

And never will it bloom again.

This the secret we would tell,

Bonnibelle! Bonnibelle!"
