a dreary place would be this earth
Were there no little people in 1t,
The song of life would lose its mirth,
Were there no children to begin it.
No little forms, like bugs to grow,
And make the admiring heart surrender,
No little hands on breast and brow,
To keep the thrilling loye-chords tender.
No babe within our arms to leap,
No little feet toward slumbcr tending;
No little knee in prayer to bend,
Our lips the sweet words lending.
What would the mothers do for work,
Were there no pants or jackets tearing.
No tiny dresses to cmbroidcr!
No cradle for their watchfui caring2
No rosy boys at wintry morn,
With satchcl to the school-hOuse hasting;
No merry shouts as home they rush,
No precious morsel for their tasting.
Tall, grave, grown people ut the door,
Tall, grave. grown people at the table;
The men on business all intent.
The danes lugubrious rs they're able.
The steamer souls would get more stern,
Untceling natures more inhuman,
And man to stole GOODNESS turn.
And woman would be less that woman.
For in that cline toward which we reach,
Through Times mysterious dim unfolding
The little ones with Chcrub smile.
Are still our Fathers face bchOlding.
So said His voice in whom we trust,
When in Iudra's realm a preacher,
