Then, with sweet music in the air, I saw another vision there: A Shepherd in whose keep A little lamb  my little child! THEN WITH SWEET MUSIC IN THE AIR I SAW ANOTHER VISION THERE A SHEPHERD IN WHOSE KEEP A LITTLE LAMB MY LITTLE CHILD
 When they hear the soldiers come With a r-r-rat-tat-tat And a tum-titty-um-tum-tum! Course it's all in play! The skulking Injun crew That hustled the kite away Are little white boys, like you! But "honest" or "just in fun," It is all the same to me; And, when the battle is won, Home once again march we With a r-r-rat-tat-tat And tum-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!
