ALL ON ACCOUNT OF THE BABY.
An aclie in the back and an ache in the arms All on account of the baby. A fear and a "fright and a thousand alarms, All on account of the baby. And bottles and rattles and whistles and rings, From cellar- to attic ii clutter of 1 things, From morning to night and to morning again > More fuss and more fume than an army of men, And a head that is stupid for lack of its sleep, And a heart where a flood of anxieties leap— All on account of the baby.
A joy in the heart and a light in the eyes, All on account of the baby. A growing content and a growing ■surprise, All on acecjunt of the baby. And patience that conquers a myriad frets, And a sunshiny song that another begets, And pureness of soul as a baby is. Jure, And sureness ol' faith ais the children are sure. And a glory of love between husband and wife, And a saner anil happier outlook on life, ' All on account of the baby.
