Explore "Three Years Old" by Ella Wheeler Wilcox on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
Written upon Eva Orton's third birthday.
A robin up in the linden-tree / Merrily sings this lay: / "Somebody sweet is three years old -- / Three years old to-day. " / Somebody's bright blue eyes look up / Through tangled curls of gold, / And two red lips unclose to say -- / "To-day I am free years old."
