LITTLE MARY.

Oh! baby with the earnest eyes, ,l.iI
Full of the light of paradise syr..@
Baby! what a sweet surprise! :ilt
All! we can but stop and ponder, ~
Since her tiny feet did wander !,
From her pleasant home up yonder.
And our hearts, subdued and tender,
Unto her their homage render,
And from every i'll defend her.
Ali we know the angels brought her,
And her tender smiles have taught her
Mammals darling little daughter.
For her presence seems to bring,
The music and the breath Of spring,
When the birds begin to sing.
And the sky that bends above us,
Seems the more to smile and love US,
And from earthly care remove us.
And somehow the world seems newer,
And the sky above Is bluer,
And our hearts are Drawer, truer,
Since our little darling came,
Wearing my old-fashioned name,
A rose, you know is just the same;
Rirmingham October, 1896.
