THE BABY
Who is it coos like a dove ? “Who is it that we dearly love— The brightest blessing from above ? , The baby. While silent watch the angels keep, Who similes so sweetly in his sleep, Ami oft displays its dimples deep ? The baby. Who is it that keeps us all awake Throughout the night till day doth break, Because it lias a stomach-ache ? The baby Who is it swallows everj T pin, Great chunks of glasss and bits of tin, And then yells all the time like sin ? The baby. Who is it that may grow up mad, And make his mother sick and sad, Then thrash his kind, indulgent dad ? The baby.
