stration of what study and hard work
NAV accomplish,
"see my baby brother
sitting In mammals lap;
Hes just getting ready
ITO take a little nap"
"I'wo little cub bears
In a child's breast
"Called bear and forbear
They bring US rest"
"Baby and ], in the weary night
Are taking a walk for his delight,
81 drowslly stumble DER stool and chair,
For he's got the collie
and paregoric
Don't seem TO ease my squalling heir"
Baby and I with the morning grey
Are gripping and squalling and walking
away,
"The fires gone out and ] nearly freeze,
There's a smell Of peppermint on the
breeze
"Then mamma wakes
"And baby takes
"And says, Now cook the breakfast
please
IF could sing as the angels sing
IN heaven above,
81 would raise my voice 20 a heavenly
thing,
and that is love.
"But my voice is harsh and my petted
sense
Us Of humble stripe,
"And oh! It's lowly theme I choose,
"The which is tripe."
"Only a woman's hair
Binding the now to the past,
"Only a single thread
100 frall 10 last;
"Only a woman's hair
Threading a tear and a sigh,
only woman's hair
Found today in the pie"
81 am a mountain lion free
and / roam the mountain side
81 grit my teeth in savage giee
And my chops with gore are dyed.
81 live on little babies fat
(Which from their homes ! steal
81 love to crunch each toothsome brat
And hear his dying squeal."
Some folks believes In angels
Experience teaches me better
you may take It for what It's
worth"
The following is the feeble Denver
germ OF all the beautiful lullabies writ
ten by Field:
Go little darling, go,
mid nodding to Bye-low,
The snow white sheep
Are fast asleep
I'm such pretty row.
"All In the sweet Bye-low
"rhen so. my darling CO."
Compare the foregoing with "The
Rock-a-by Baby from Hushaby Land"
"Wynken, Blynken and Nod" 80. So,
Rock-a-by Sol OF 10 the Gardens
Where Dreamikins Grow" Here by
the Sea Mother Croons" sleep Little
Pigeon" and the many other finished
lullabies OF his later years What won
der that he should shrink with dread
from the spectre of the future book
making body snatcher,
In the Denver collection are a few
suggestions, such as Glover Top and
Thistle Down" Last Years Doll" and
"The Wren's Nest."-of the fancful
spirit Of Dickens which In after years
| found ample play In '"rhe Bingham
Dog and the Calico Cat and many
| other verses devoted 10 the jocular IL
| Elimination Of the ancient Campanella
school OF metaphysics-th belief Of the
existence Of soul in bird and beast and
| I'm inanlmate and voiceless objects.
Here Is one OF the Denver samples:
Two pieces OF ice in the tee house lay
| Waiting the dawn OF another day,
And as they fingered there side by
side,
"Oh tell me brother. since we must die,
What fate would you choose for the by
and bye"
The eiddiest piece Of the couple cried
ooh. I am fondly and gently bred"
The other ice cake sighi1g said,
And would melt In a glass Of tea
| With a maiden stirring me 20 and fro
And mixing me up with sugar trow,
Such. pray, may my ending be-"
The other cake for moment smiled.
81 always have been a hayward child
And It strikes me now ! would like TO
float
In a brandy punch or a whisky sour.
Begulling some wretched mortal hour,
And cooling some thirsty mortars
throat"
The hours passed on and the days
went by
! Till finally came their time 20 die,
And the gentle piece Of fee expired
/ In a bowl Of tea. while the other piece,
1 In rare llbation found surcease,
Each one persisted as each desired.
What Of the maiden who quaffed the
tea?
| They planted her under willow tree.
And the mourners come and the
] mourners go,
