Forever mute to grief, forever mid2
Is it not hard to bear the falling rod
When such an ailment for these baby lips
Divinely suits the policy of God?
The lambs that play too long at hide and
seek
Have tongues that ask for mothers; these, !

Learn lovely meanings when the children
speak.
The mother comes from far across the field
And calls assurance to her anxious child,
AS had answered had my lamb appealed!
So with unfeatherod blackcaps; so with things
Whose tones are pitched too low for mortal
ears.
They plead, and nature sends them breast
and wings.
But shall never hear that storied speech,
That lovely language whose expression Is
Defiance of all rules that man may teach;
Nor hear against my heart sons content
When for his mouth the willing milk is kind,
And for his lips my fountain is well spent
have brought silence to my husbands knee
And he (Oh, baby, baby, try to speakO
So greatly counted on the mimicry
OF words his wit prepared to plague thy lips,
Ready to kiss That rosebud impotence,
Thy mouth, and garner all thy precious slips.
"Sfother," he used to say, "when am worn
In days to come with writing, you shall bring
This bud of April on your shoulder borne,
"And he shall chatter to my chain, or tear
My latest lyric, or shall cry to touch
The raining splendors of your ravished hair,
Until he dwindle and his eyes grow dim,
And we can worship him before the fire.
And kiss each other many thanks for him.
1--WE will undress him In your grading lap,
And spy upon his beauty, praying God
To bless his life with fruit of tender hap;
"Then will have him to my heart awhile"
(Oh, baby, baby, baby, try to speakO
And watch the fading Of his sleepy smile
It'll dimples cannot follow kisses pressed
Upon the pouting slumber Of his mouth,
And restore his beauty to thy breast"
Oh, husband, husband, and the child is dumb
The lamb outspeaks him, and the day-old
thrush-
How shall break this news when that you
come?

And never give her back a word of Lowell

Better indeed for a mans own good,

Bleak white winter OF bland sweet May,

Better abide, though the skies be dun,
And the rivers espoused OF the ice and snow:
Better abide, though the thistles grow,

Not he who rides through conquered city's
gate,
At the head of blazoned hosts and to the
sound
OF victors trumpets, In full pomp and state
OF war, the utmost pitch has dreamed or
found
To which the thrill of triumph can be wound;
Nor he who by a nations vast acclaim
Is sudden sought and singled out alone,
And while the people madly shout his name,
Without conscious purpose OF his own,
Is swung and lifted to the nations throne.
But he who has all single handed stood
With foes invisible on every side,
And, unsupported OF the multitude,
The force of fate itself has dared, defied
And conquered silently.
And that soul knows
In what white heat the blood of triumph flows.
