Like Childish THINGS

I like little newborn babies
And when they learn to crawl,
And dolls in fancy dresses.
And scooters in the hall;
like pigeons in the door-yard
And bird-neStS in the trees
And wild-flowers in pottery vases
To greet the morning breeze;
I like blossoms in the orchard
A humble low.born bee
I like all things plain and

They're so like God to me.
