THE LITTLE SHOE.
14 1 belong," said the little shoe, 44 To a baby fair, With golden hair, "With dimpled smiles, And cunning wiles. And eyes of blue;" 14 What do you do, you iittl* shoe* All the day ? Tell m«, I pray, Little Shoe, what you do." 44 Upstairs and down," said the wed shoe, 41 Two little feet, Dainty and sweet* Patter about, Indoors and out, And take mes too." 44 What do ydu hear? Now tell me true, How they talk, When you walk, You little shoe." " What do I hear ?" Baid the dainty shoe. 44 Tender words, Songs of birds, Baby sighs, Lullabies* And laughter, too." 41 Where do you go, you dear wee shoe ? Do you weary For land and sea, For something new ?" " Sometimes I sail," said the wee shoe, '■ Across the sea, 'Twixt you and me} It is not best To tell the reßt : I'm baby's shoe."
