BABY ooRN.

A happy mother stalk of corn
Held close baby ear,
And whispered, "Cuddle up to me,
I'll keep you warm my dear.
I'll give you petticoats of green,
With many a tuck and fold
To let out daily as you grow;
For you will soon be old"
A funny little baby that,
For though it had no eye,
1t had hundred mouths: twas well
1t did not want to cry,
The mother put in each small mouth
A hollow thread of silk,
Through which the sun and rain
and air
Provided baby's milk.
The petticoats were gathered close
Where all the threadlets hung;
And still as summer days went on
To mother-stalk 1t chung;
And all the time it grew and grew
Each kernel drank the milk,
BY day, by night, in shade, in sun,
From its own thread of silk
And each grew strong and full and
round
And each was shining white;
The cores and seams were all let
out,
The green skirts fitted tight;
The ear stood straight and large
and tall,
And when it saw the sun,
Held up its emerald satin grown
To say, "Your work is done"
You're large enough" said Mother
Stalk,
And now there's no more room
For you to grow" She tied the
threads
Into soft brown plume
1t floated out upon the breeze
To greet the dewy morn.
And then the baby said Now I'm
A full grown ear of co m"
