Two little feet so small that both may
nestle
In one caressing hand;
Two tender feet upon the untried borders
OF lfe's mysterious land.
Dimpled and soft and pink as peach
tree blossoms
In ApriPs fragrant days,
How can they walk among the briery
tangles
Edging the worlds rough ways?
These white rose feet, along the doubt
full future.
Must bear a woman's load;
Alasl since woman has the heaviest
burden.
And walks the hardest road.
Love for a time will make the path be-
fore them
All dainty. smooth. and fair;
VIII Gull away the brambles. letting only
The roses blossom there.
But when mothers watchful eye is
shrouded
Away from sight of men.
And these dear feet are left without her
guiding,
Who will direct them then?
How will they be betrayed, deluded,
Poor little untaught feet?
Into what dreary maZes will they wan
der.
What dangers will they meet?
VIII they go stumbling blindly in the
darkness
OF sorrows fearful shade.
Or find the upland slopes Of peace and
beauty,
Whose sunlights never fade?
VIII they so climbing up ambitions sum-
nit
The common world above;
Or, in some nameless vale securely
sheltered.
Walk side by side with love?
unwounded,
And find but pleasant ways;
Some hearts there are 10 which this
world is only
A round of happy days.
But they are few. Far more there are
who wander
Without hope or friend,
Who find their pathway filed with pains
and losses,
And long TO reach the end.
How shall It be with her, the tender
stranger,
Fair-faced and gentle-eyed,
Before whose untaught feet the world
rude highway
Stretches far and wide?
But who may read the future for our
darling?
| We crave all blessings sweet.
And pray that He who feeds the crying
| raven
VIII guide the baby's feet.
