TO MY BABY.
Sleep, my lone darling ! thy mother is near thoe ; In dreams she ia watching the couch of thy rest : And kisses—the dew of the beautiful dreamlandAre falling in showers upon thy pure breast ! Thy dear tiny fingers now link with soft pressure ; And cheering the smile that illume* like the sun. Ah, darling ! sweet dreamer ! my cup in full measure. In bounty of loving, is truly o'errun Cease ! cease ! the wild throb of my heart's expectation ! The void of the future no living may trace ! ' God grant this sweet bud of rich promise may blossom, And give to the world its true mission of grace !
