LITTLE FEET.

Two little feet so small that both may nestle
In one carcSsing hand
Two tender feet upon the untried border
OF life's mysterious land.
Dimpled and soft, and pink as peachtree bios
SONS
In April's fragrant days,
How can they walk among the briery tanglc
Edging the worlds rough ways?
These white rose feet along the doubt;ulfut
Must bcara woman's load;
Alas since woman has the heaviest burdei.
And walks the hardest road.
Love forawhile will make the path before them
All dainty, smooth aud fair
Will Gull away the bramble, letting only
The roses blossom there.
But when the mothers watchful eyes are
shrouded
From the sight of men.
And these dear feet are left without her guid-
ing.
Who shall direct them them
VIII thcygo Stumbling blindly in the darkness
OF sorrow 5 fearful shades.
Or find the upland slopes of peace and beauty,
Whose sunlight never falts?
How shall it be with her, the tender stranger,
Fair faced and gentle eyed
Before whose unstaincd feet the worlds rude
highway
Stretches so strange and wide?
Ali who may read the future? For our dar-
ling
We cr,ee all blessings sweet
And pray that lie who keeps the crying ravens
Will guide the baby's feet

Daring the war he w.l. to church only
