THE SUM-MAN’S BABIES.
The Moon-Man sent his stars to bed And turned a pitying eye To where the Sun-Man sailed alone, Across the eastern sky.
“Poor thing!’! he said. “How sad to have No children round your knee. A thousand stars are mine; How lonely you must be!
The Sun-Man laughed a jolly* laugh He pointed far below, To where the shining, busy earth Swung golden in his glow.
“A million million babes arc mine,” He said, “on yonder earth; My* sunbeams wrap Hcm all the day; To me they owe their birth.
"A million million babes smile up Prom ilawn till buy is done. And when I say my last good-right 1 kiss them every one.” Edith Howes
