"Many Smiles"

She played under the magnolia
On a thousand petals it cast down;
And she was a little princess
With bouncing curls for a crown.

Or had we fallen under a spell
Of a charming springtime fairy,
Who had found her favorite tree
In that urban sanctuary?

It made no difference to us--
Loyal subjects or just entranced--
For all were granted many smiles
By this lovely creature who danced.

It sounds as if this was written about a charming little girl.
