DADDY'S VOTE.
A NEW NO-LICENSE SOXO. [ < di, Daddy, while I tightly hold you, And press with velvet cheek your face : And while these soft, warm hands enfold \oU. Deep in your eyes I fain would trace Your sacrifice for me. You cannot, daddy, always hush me, Xor follow me with wistful eye ; One day the cruel world may crush uio With w oes, your darling fain would lly— And no one care for me! The world might vote for sinful glitter, And I am innocent and weak ; Too late, w hen sweet has turned to hitter, Oh, daddy, daddy, you might seek Too late to vote for me! Ah ! many a little heart is pining Midst rags, and want, and hitter tears, For love, w here love has ceased its shining, ’Cos none would vote them happier years— How did you vote for me ? Daddy, the day is drawing nearer An angel bright will guide your hand; And hearts and homes he purer, dearer, When you have hallowed God’s own land With daddy’s vote for me ! J.S. (May sm» sung a> a solo to the beautiful hymn time, “Oli love that will not let me go,” •I'M] in Pres\hyteriiiii “ New Clmreh Praise.”)
