My Little Lad.

To and fro in the twilight glow,
In the trembling hush of the leafy June,
My little lad and swing slow.
Dreamingly grooming a quaint old tune.
Softly the rockers dip and rise,
Like pendulum steady and true;
Softly the rhythm of song replies,
Striving my darling to slumber TO WOO.
The moon rays slant with a tender grace
On the tangled cbrls of my little lad,
Kiss and caress the dear little face;
Sweetest that ever a baby had.
Warmly flushed is the dimpled cheek,
Mouth like rosebud 90 rose, be gladD
While the blue and the gray for the mastery
seek,
In the shining eyes Of my little lad.
ShriIly a cricket chirps, down by the beck,
The breeze holds its breath as gently rise
And loosen the small, clinging arms from
my neck,
For the sleep angels touched my little
lads eyes.
l lay him down with loving prayer,
Never fear to make me sad;
For beneath are the arms, everlasting, sure,
And safe in them rests my dear little lad!
