The secret of feeding birds In cap

In cold weather more hemp and some

Baby.

Wee tow-headed baby,
Like a butter ball,
Half inclined to laughter,
Half inclined to sQuall.
Dimples In your elbows.
Dimple In your chin:
Looks like God had made you
To put dimples I'M
Looks like God had made you.
Roly poly boy,
With your mouth a-pucker
Eyes a-dance with Joy.
Just to carry dimples.
What-have you a pain?
Dear, such twisty faces
Are sign Of rain.
Half a laugh, half crying,
Don't know what to do.
Gulping, sobbing, signing,
Tell you, baby: You
Stick like that to mother
Always when In doubt
All the years Of all your life,
And you can't lose out.
