Little Joe By Chas. E. Addison. Price 35 cts
What will the birds do, Mother, next spring,
The little birds that come to the door?
VIII they tap on the window or hop on the step
Asking why little Joe is no more?
What will the kitten do, Mother all alone?
Will it stop In its frolics for day?
Or lie on the rug by the side of my bed,
AS it did when once went away?
And Tiger, o Mother, love Tiger for me-
For know he will mourn for me true;
So keep him. when idle and useless he grows,
Sleeping all the long Summer day through.
Show him my coat Mother, so he'll not forget
Little Master. who then will be dead
Speak to him softly and often of Joe,
And pat him on his black. shaggy head.
And dear Uncle Jack in the far-off camp,
viii look sad DER the letter you'll write
Only say, dearest Mother, I've gone to the front,
Marching and nearer the light.
And you, Mother darling, you'll miss me awhile,
But In heaven no larger I'll grow,
So, any kind angel will know when you ask
At the gate for your poor little joe
