"My Sweet Embraceable You"

From collection Charity Adams Earley

"My Sweet Embraceable You"

A handwritten poem which reads "Embrace me my sweet embraceable you / Embrace me my irriplacible [sic] you / Just one look at you my heart gets tipsy in me / You and you alone bring out the gypsy in me / I love all the many charms about you / Above all I want your arms about me / Don't be a naughy papa / Come to mama, Come to mama do / My Sweet Embraceable you"
