BABY BOY'S WAKING.
Ten little fingers and ten little toes, Pink little cheeks and a wee little nose, Two little lips that are trying to yawn— Thiß is my baby boy waking at morn. Two little arms that are stretched out to love, Eyes that are soft as the gaze of a dove. Curls that are tumbled and tossed in the morn— This ia my baby boy waking at dawn. Two little arms that are lying at rest, Crossed o'er a pulseless and innocent breast; Lips that are pale, eyes that no more wiH grieve — This ia my baby boy sleeping at eve. Two golden wings and a face rosy bright, Calmly adoring the God of all light; One little angel in raiments of gold— This is my baby boy safe in the fold.
