THE BABY MYSTERIES.
Where did you come from, baby dear ? Out of the everywhere into here. Where did you get your eyes of blue ? Out of the sky as I came through. What makes the light in them sparkle and spin 1 Some of the starry spikes left in. Where did you get that little tear? I found it waiting when I got here. What makes your forehead so smooth and high? A soft hand stroked it as I went by. What makes your cheeks like, a warm white rose ? I saw something better than anyone knows. Whence that three-cornered smilo of bliss? Three angels gave me at once a kiss. Where did you get this pearly ear ! God spoke, and it came out to hear. .;.. Where did you get these arras and hands ? Love made itself into hooks and bands. Feet, whence did you come, you darling ! things? -• , From the same place as the cherub's wings. How did they all just come to be you ? God thought about me, and so I grew. But how do you come to us, you dear? I God thought about you, and so I am here. nrrnium wmnjuinainnMimiwiHWiii—
