A LULLABY.
All, little one, you're tired of play, Sleep's fingers rest npon tour brow; You've been a woman all the day 3 You'd he a baby now; Oh baby, my baby, You'd bo a baby now. . Perhaps yon had _ forgotten- ine. Because t-he daisies were so white. But now you como to mother's knee, My little babe to-night; Oh baby, my baby, My baby every night. To-morrow, when the sun's awake, You'll seek your flowery fields again. But night shall fall, and for my sake You'll be a baby then; Oh baby, :nv baby, My little baby then. ~. 'And yori'il grow big,, and love wiß call; Happen you'll leave me for your ' man; • And night-times when the shadows' fall, I'll greet as mothers can; Oh baby, my baby, As only niothers'ean. [And now, my little heart'of May, Lie closely, sleep is on yoiir brow; You've been a Woman all the day, You'd be my baby now; Oh baby, my baby's My littlo baby now. —Richard Middle ton,
