THE LITTLE PEOPLE.
A dreary place would be the earth Were" there no little people m it. The song of life would lose its mirth, Were there no children to begin it.
'So little forms, like buds, to grow And make the admiring heart surrender, 210 little heads on breast and brow To keep the thrilling love chords tender.
The sterner soul would grow more sterner, Unfeeling nature more inhuman, And man to stois coldness turn, And woman would be less than woman.
Xife's song indeed would lose it's charm Were there no babiea to begin it. A doleful place this world would be Were there no little people in it.
