Baby Bum.

Winsome baby Bum
Brighter than the stars that rise
In the dusky evening skies,
Browner than the robins wing.
Clearer than the woodland spring,
Are tho eyes of baby Bum!
Winsome baby Bum
Smile, mother, smile
Thinking softly all the while
OF a tender, blissful day,
When the dark eyes, so like these,
OF the cherub on your knees,
Stole your girlish heart away.
Oh the eyes of baby Bum !
Rarest mischief will they do,
When once old enough to steal
What their father stole from you!
Smile, mother, smile !
Winsome baby Bum
Milk white lilies half unroled,
Set in oalyces of gold,
Cannot make his forehead fair,
With its rings of yellow hair
Scarlet berry cleft in twain,
By wedge of pearly grain,
Is the mouth of baby Bum
Winsome baby Bum
Weep mother, weep
For the little one asleep
With his little head against your breast!
Never in the coming years,
Will he find so sweet rest.
Oh, the brow of baby Bum
Oh, the scarlet mouth of Bum!
One must wear it's crown of thorns,
Drink its cup of gall must one
Through the trembling lips shall shrink,
White with anguish as they drink,
And the temple sweet with pain
Drops of blood like purple rain
Weep mother, weep.
Winsome baby Bum
Not the sea-sheI's palest tinge,
Not the daisy's rose-white fringe,
Not the softest, faintest glow
OF the sunset on the snow,
Is more beautiful and sweet
Than the wee pink hands and feet
Of the little baby Bum
WinsOme baby Bum!
Pray, and sometimes will your prayers
Be to him like golden stairs
Built through darkness into light.
Oh, the dimple,l feet Of Bum,
In their silken stockings dressed
Oh, the dainty hands of Bum,
Hid like rose leaves in your breast
These will grasp at jewels rare,
But to find them empty air;
Those shall falter many day,
Bruised and bleeding by the way,
Ere they reach the land of rest
Pray, mother, pray
