"Which is the way to Baby-land?" "Any one can tell; Up one flight, To your right; Please to ring the bell." "What can you see in Baby-land?" "Little folks in white— Downy heads, Cradle-beds, Faces pure and bright!" "What do they do in Baby-land?" "Dream and wake and play, Laugh and crow, Shout and grow; Jolly times have they!" "What do they say in Baby-land?" "Why, the oddest things; Might as well Try to tell What a birdie sings!" "Who is the Queen of Baby-land?" "Mother, kind and sweet; And her love, Born above, Guides the little feet." George Cooper [1840-1927] |
