Excerpt from Home Life in Song: With the Poets of to-Day
Babyhood.
This Baby of Ours.
There's not a blossom of beautiful May,
Silver of daisy or daffodil gay,
Nor the rosy bloom of apple-tree flowers,
Fair as the face of this baby of ours.
You can never find on a bright June day
A bit of fair sky so cheery and gay,
Nor the haze on the hill, in noonday hours,
Blue as the eyes of this baby of ours.
There's not a murmur of wakening bird,
The clearest, sweetest, that ever was heard
In the tender hush of the dawn's still hours,
Sweet as the voice of this baby of ours.
There's no gossamer silk of tasseled corn,
No flimsiest thread of the shy wood-fern,
Not even the cobweb spread over the flowers,
Fine as the hair of this baby of ours.
There's no fairy shell by the sounding sea.
No wild-rose that nods on the windy lea,
No blush of the sun through April's soft showers,
Pink as the palms of this baby of ours.
May the dear Lord spare her to us, we pray,
For many a long and sunshiny day.
Ere He takes to bloom in Paradise bowers,
This wee bit darling - this baby of ours.
