Here Is the best poem ever written IN
! Oklahoma. It's author is unknown. 1t is
! published in the Oklahoma School Her
aid:
The baby has gone to school; ali, me!
What will the mother do.
With never call to button, or pin,
Or tie little shoe?
How can she keep herself busy all day.
With the little, hindering thing away?
! Another basket to MI with Iuncn,
| Another goOd-by to say,
! And the mother stands at the door to see
Her baby march away.
| And turns away with sigh that is half
relief
/ And half a something akin TO grief.
! She thinks Of a possible future morn,
! When the children, one by one
/ VIII 60 from their home out into the
world,
To battle with life alone,
And not even the baby be left TO cheer
/ The desolate home of that future year.
| She picks up garments here and there,
Thrown down In careless haste,
! And tries to think how it would seem
| If nothing were displaced;
If the house were always as sim as this,
How could she bear the loneliness?
