The Irish baby magic bonnet includes the following poem:
The Magic Hanky
I’m a little hanky
As beautiful as can be,
And with a stitch or two
A bonnet was made from me.
I can be worn home from the hospital
Or on christening day,
And then I will be tucked away
To await the wedding day.
On her Wedding Day, a hanky I will be,
For every bride needs something old
And surely, I will be.
And if so happens to be a boy,
And someday he should marry,
He can give his lovely bride
A hanky she can carry.
