I hear her rocking the baby
Her room il just next TO mine
And fancy / feel tho dimpled arms
That round her neck entwine.
AS she rocks and rocks the baby,
In the room just next TO mine.
/ hear her rocking the baby
Each day when the twilight comes,
And know there's world OF blessing
and love
In the baby bye" she huns.
can see the restless fingers
Playing with ''mamma's rings"
And the sweet little smiling pouting
mouth
That 70 her In kissing clings.
As she rocks and sings TO the baby,
And dreams as she rocks and sings.
hear her rocking the baby
Slower and slower now.
And I know she is leaving her goodnight
kiss
on its eyes and checks and brow.
From her rocking, rocking. rocking,
I wonder would she start,
| Could she know, through the wall be-
tween US.
She was rocking on my hearth
While my empty arms are aching
For form they may not press.
And my emptier heart is breaking
In its desolate loneliness.
| I list TO the rocking, rocking,
In the room Just next 10 mine
And breathe n tear In silence
At a mothers broken shrine.
For the woman who rocks the baby
In the room just next to mine.
