LITTLE MARYS WISH
Il have seen the first robin of Spring
mother dear.
And have heard the borwn darling
sing;
You said. Hear it and wish and twill
surely come true.
So I've wished such beautiful thing
II thought | would like to ask some
thing for you.
But | couldn't think what there could
be
That you'd want while you had all
these beautiful things;
Besides you have papa and me.
so wished for ladder. so long that
'twould stand
One end by our own cottage door,
And the other go up past the moon
and the stars
And lean against Heavens white floor.
Then I'd get you to put on my
pretty white dress.
With my sash and my darling new
shoes;
Then I'd find some white roses to take
up to God
The most beautiful ones could
choose.
And you and dear papa would sit on
the ground
And kiss me and tell me 'Goodby!'
Then I'd go up the ladder far out OF
your sight
| Till came to the door In the sky.
Il wonder If God keeps the door fass-
ened tight?
| If but one little crack | could see;
would whisper, Please. God. let this
little girl in,
| Shes as tired as she can be-
a She came all alone from the earth
| 10 the sky.
For she's always been wanting to see
The gardens of Heaven. with theil
robins and flowers;
Please God, is there room there fol
me?'
And then, when the angels had open
ed the door,
God would say: Bring the little child
here
But he'd speak 1t so softly I'd not b,
afraid;
And he'd smile just like you. mothe
dear.
He would put His kind arms 'rount
your dear little girl,
And I'd ask Him to send down TO
you
And papa. and cousin, and all that
love
o. dear! don't you wish 'twould com
true?"
The next Springtime when the robin
came home,
They sang over grasses and flower
That grew where the foot of the lad
der stood
Whose top reached the heavenl,
bowers.
And the parents had dressed the pale
still child
For her flight to the Summer land,
In a fair white robe, with one snow
white rose
Folded tight to her pulseless hand.
And now at the foot OF the ladder they
sit,
Looking upward with quiet tears
TILL the reckoning hand and the flut-
tering robe
or the child at the top appears.
