"FOT WOULD YOU TAKE 2"
BY S. B. M'MANUs.

She was ready Tor bed and lay on my arm,
In her little trilied cap SO fine,
With her golden hair falling out at the edge,
Like a circle of noon sunshine,
And L hummed the old tune of ~"Banbury
Cross"
And Three men who put out to sea-"
When she sleepily said, as she closed her
blue eyes.
papa, fot would you take for me ?"
And l answered, GA dollar, dear little heart, y
And she slept, baby weary with play,
But held her warm in my lOve-strong arms,
And rocked her and rocked away.
o., The dollar meant all the world to me,
The land and the sea and the sky,
The lowest depth of the lowest place,
The highest of all that's high.
TIL cities with streets and palaces,
Their pictures and stores of art,
1 would not AXE for one low. soft throb,
OF my little ones loving heart;
MOI all the gold that was ever found
In the busy, wealth -finding past,
Would L take for one smile of my darling's
face,
Did L know it must be the last.
So L rocked my baby and rocked away.
And 1 felt such a sweet content,
For the words of the song expressed to me
more
Thar they ever before had meant,
And the night crept on and 1 slept and
dreamed
OF things far too glad to be,
And 1 Weakened with lips saying close in my
ear,
"Papa, fot would you take for me?"
