You'd think, to see us carrying on about that little tad, That, like as not, that baby was the first we'd ever had; But, sakes alive! he isn't, yet we people make a fuss As if the only baby in the world had come to us! YOU'D THINK TO SEE US CARRYING ON ABOUT THE LITTLE TAD THAT LIKE AS NOT THAT BABY WAS THE FIRST WE'D EVER HAD BUT TAKES A LIFE HE ISN'T YET WE PEOPLE MAKE A FUSS AS IF THE ONLY BABY IN THE WORLD HAD COME TO US
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. 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! And of that lacteal fluid he partakes with great ado, While gran'ma laughs, And gran'pa laughs, And wife, she laughs, And I--well, I laugh, too!
