TAK-ING CARE OF BA-BY.

Previous
Lit-tle, help-less ba-by dear,
While with-in your cot you lie,
Sis-ter May is sit-ting near—
She will sing your lul-la-by.
When at last you fall a-sleep,
Not the slight-est noise she'll make;
Quiet as a mouse she'll keep,
Lest she should her dar-ling wake.
May will watch you well, for though
She can play and prat-tle too,
'Tis not very long ago
Since she was a babe like you.
Then mam-ma o'er lit-tle May
Day and night her watch would keep;
May her care can now re-pay,
Watch-ing ba-by whilst a-sleep.
