THE FIRST CRADLE.


When little babies lived in caves, their toys
bits Of bone
And all the cradles they had were solid blocks
of stone,
And often times the stone was hard. and people
passing by
Would hear the babies move about and bump
their heads and cry
But when their mothers scoded them and told
them to be good
The babies just put up with it the very best they
could.
One day wise cave mother. with her baby on
her knees,
Sat watching two bright orioles that flashed about
the trees
She saw them rushing to and fro and darling
With bits Of sticks and wisps of and
pterydactyl hair.
And presently beneath branch she
swinging nest
Where soon the little orioles would sway and
rock and restI
For days she thought about the birds. and how
with tender care
They made their babies soft and snug, up yonder
in the air,
And then she made long ropes of yarn the way
she'd them do,
And presently she had nest to hold her baby
too
nest all lined with gosling down. and warm
And that night her baby had his first
sweet, dreamless sleep.
You'll often see the orioles that pass on whirring
wing
And if you'll follow them you'll find just where
the cradles swing,
Way up upon the toPmost boughs where every
wind that blows
Will hull the baby orioles beautiful repose.
And when you hear their evening song that's
like silver bell
You ought to thank them very much, because
