THE MUD CAKE, by                     Poet's Biography
First Line: Little drops of water
Last Line: Of sweet felicity.
Subject(s): Babies; Dirt; Play; Infants


LITTLE drops of water,
Little grains of sand,
Make the dainty mud-cake
In the baby's hand.

Little sun beams sifting
From a home on high,
And the gentle zephyrs
Make the mud-cake dry.

Then the little darling,
Happy it will be;
Dolly 'll have a party
Out upon the lea.

Kitty be invited,
Rover will be there,
While baby will be seated
In her wicker chair.

Thus a little mud-cake,
Humble though it be,
Gives an hour to baby
Of sweet felicity.
