He didn't like babies bit,
"Of charm they had never a trace"
Although he was free to admit
They were needed to keep the race.
But why people thought they were

Was what he could not understand,
And mothers all called him brute,
Till baby took hold of his his hand.
He thrilled at the warm little clasp
With feeling no words can express
And his which was harsh as a

Grew soft as a maiden's caress.
And his eyes they were glowing with
light
AS the face of his captor he scanned
And his. finger, clutched snugly and
tight,
When the baby took hold of his hand.
Was there ever a mortal so vile
That his heart wouldn't start In to

That his lips wouldn't part in a smile
AT the soft little fingers that clingl
And life has no tenderer touch
No lovelier thrill to command,
Than the firm little, strong little clutch
When baby takes hold of your hsndl
