The Giddy Girl

Title:     The Giddy Girl
Author: Elizabeth Turner [More Titles by Turner]

Miss Helen was always too giddy to heed
What her mother had told her to shun,
For frequently over the street in full speed
She would cross where the carriages run.

And out she would go to a very deep well,
To look at the water below;
How naughty! to run to a dangerous well,
Where her mother forbade her to go!

One morning, intending to take but one peep,
Her foot slipp'd away from the ground:
Unhappy misfortune! the water was deep,
And giddy Miss Helen was drown'd.

[The end]
Elizabeth Turner's poem: Giddy Girl
