Like opening violets. fresh and fair,
A pair of little wide-stretched eyes
Look upward from the cradle, where
The households newest treasure lea
Within these orbs of deepest blue
A look OF wonder seems to hide.
A questioning of this world so new,
Which lies before him. all untried:
AS though this little pilgrim fain
Would all earth's many mysteries know:
Would have the hidden paths made plain.
Though which his feet must learn TO go.
But, deeper than the wonder. lies
A look we cannot understand
BE seems. with those far-seeinx eyes
To gaze upon another land.
Perhaps there npger with him stu
Some memories OF the great Unknown
1t may be that the thoughts which dN
his mind are far beyond our own.

AS DER the cradle-bed we bend
III we you earth's way will show
From Aabyhood till life shall end.

Those secrets, only known TO yoSs-
Reveal the visions you behold,
That wemay look upon them, tooT"'
oh. foolish thought! to hope again
To dream the dreams OF Bsbyland
We, worldly wise. might strive in vain
His He2Uen-born thoughts to understood
Nor wouldSwe. II we could. point out
To this wee pilgrims wondering sight
Rhe thorns-which wait his path about
The mingling OF the shade and ltxht
He'll learns6ull soon the joys and cares
Which make this earthly life of ours
His hands will find the thorns and spares
Which hide, among the fruit and howers
Dur all-wisesFriend most lovingly.
Has drawnra veil across the waK
Which only lifts that eve may see
The duties of single day.
The question IN the baty's eyes
Can only deepen with the years
While each Knight visien fades and dies
When seen .through earthly smiles and
tears
But We can trust the same wise hand
That placed ahis smau bark on itfe's tide
To guide II safely to the land
Which lies upon the ozher SIDE.
Where. mid the brightness he may see
His fair dream pictures once again,
And find his questions answered, where
