TRUE LOVE.

A poor Little strangeTsfeeble and sight,
i came TO them one eyentful night,
They took me and kept me with tenderesi
care;
They loved me and kissed me and called me
fair;
They never questioned, nor paused to weigh
Their precious favors from day to day;
But with humble service that never tired
All things were gwen and paught required.
Many song aud sonnet
I'd since have written upon it.
With wonder great at my happy fate,
II any one else had done IL,
But Pa and Ma! Could q baby guess
That pas and mas would ever do less,
In the restless years that since have flown
They have made my hopes and joys their own
With gentle words they have siillod my grief
And sent my sorrow q sweet relief.
They CAIN as little and giys as free
AS when l leaned on my mothers knee
For though past I'LL words they hold me dear
They ask not even TO have me near
Many song and sonnet
Would have written upon il
In the melting mood Of graf tude
IL any else had done 10.
Bat Pa and Ma. Why, the truth 20 say
I'm still their baby at this late day.
Al, well II I'd been lone little waif
With none to kiss me ard Keep me safe,
And any one then had stopped 10 take
And feed and clothe me for char. tvs sake,
To polish my manners and send me to school,
And ira me in all things by compass and
rule,
To blame what was foolish and praise what
was good
Aud love me little as we'll as they could
II any one thus had doneit,
might have sung in sonnet
Some goodly share OF the tender care
Which tbcyswouid have spent upon Il
But Pa and Ma Does any one think
could gauge their love with pen and ink?
