world of humanity, and veto the hearts

something that has power to gil Life with
the sweetest music. When the angels came,
when the "Golden Gate" was left ajar, when
the ''Silent Messenger" caught and claaped
the tiny casket that held the prisoned soul
ali then, for the mourning father, for the
despairing mother, the very sunshine faded
and the light drifted under cloud OF such
grief as never more can be forgotten or
erased by any triumph of Time. His
plsintive "Papa Bye" as he Aoated out on
the River held the saddest farewell that
ever human ears can hear, for alas!
The winsome face, the tossing curls aglow,
The little feet that battered to and fro,
The pretty wisdom of one happy year,
Ali ended in such bitter, bitter woe,
When Baby died.
Here are the shoes that Baby used to wear,
The fearful vision of step 40 sweet,
The mother folds her hands in speeches
prayer,
And mourns the silence of the missing
feet.
So, leave the chamber to its quiet gloom,
And put aside the little cradle bed,
Dear Gaily-close the sacred room

The fragrant bloom upon the climbing vine,
In its sweet breath, his name will keep,
And some day, We shall kiss again
The lips that now are locked IN sleep,
