"COME here, my little son, and see
What God has given you and me:
A tiny baby fair and sweet
With dimpled hands and cunning feet.
It won't be long ere he can play
And frolic with you every day."
But Eddie sadly shook his head,—
The tear-drops fell upon his coat,—
Then sobbing audibly he said,
"I'd rather had er billy goat."
