THE HAPPY HOUSEHOLD It's when the birds go piping and the daylight slowly breaks, That, clamoring for his dinner, our precious baby wakes; Then it's sleep no more for baby, and it's sleep no more for me, For, when he wants his dinner, why it's dinner it must be! THE HA HAPPY HOUSEHOLD IT'S WHEN THE BIRDS GO PIPING AND THE DAYLIGHT SLOWLY BREAKS THAT CLAMORING FOR HIS DINNER OUR PRECIOUS BABY WAKES FOR IT'S SLEEP NO MORE FOR BABY AND IT'S SLEEP NO MORE FOR ME FOR WHEN HE WANTS HIS DINNER WHY IT'S DINNER IT MUST BE
m-titty-um-tum-tum; And there's glory enough in that For the boys with their little red drum! THE DEAD BABE Last night, as my dear babe lay dead, In agony I knelt and said: "O God! what have I done, Or in what wise offended Thee, That Thou should'st take away from me My little son? "Upon the thousand useless lives, Upon the guilt that vaunting thrives, Thy wrath were better spent! Why should'st Thou take my little son-- Why should'st Thou vent Thy wrath upon This innocent?" Last night, as my dear babe lay dead, Before mine eyes the vision spread Of things that might have been: Licentious riot, cruel strife, Forgotten prayers, a wasted life Dark red with sin! Then, with sweet music in the air, I saw another vision there: A Shepherd in whose keep A little lamb--my little child! Of worldly wisdom undefiled, Lay fast asleep! Last night, as my dear babe lay dead, In those two messages I read A wisdom manifest; And though my arms be childless now, I am content--to Him I bow Who knoweth best.
