No Baby in the House.
No baby in the house, I know, 'Tis far too nice and clean; No toys, by careless fingers strewn Upon the floors are seen; No finger-marks are on the .panes, No scratches on the chairs. No wooden men set up in rows, Or marshalled off in pairs; No little stockings to be darned, All rugged at the toes; ( No pile of mending to be done, Made up of baby-clothes; No little trouble to be soothed, No naughtiness to scold; No grimy fingers to be washed;. No stories to be told; No tender kisses to be given, No nicknames, ' 'Dove and "Mouse"— No merry frolics after tea — No baby in the house! ;
