ONLY A BABY SMALL, by                     Poet's Biography
First Line: Only a baby small, dropt from the skies
Last Line: Small, but how dear to us, god knoweth best.
Subject(s): Babies; Infants


ONLY a baby small, dropt from the skies;
Only a laughing face, two sunny eyes;
Only two cherry lips, one chubby nose;
Only two little hands, ten little toes.

Only a golden head, curly and soft;
Only a tongue that wags loudly and oft;
Only a little brain, empty of thought;
Only a little heart troubl'd with nought.

Only a tender flower, sent us to rear;
Only a life to love while we are here;
Only a baby small, never at rest;
Small, but how dear to us, God knoweth best.
