Something to give even sorrow a grace,
And yet it was only a baby!

Her beads while she numbered,
The baby still slumbered,
And smiled in her face, as she bended her knee;
Oh! bless'd be that warning,
My child's sleep adorning,
For I know that the angels are whispering with thee.
SAMUEL LOVER

Only a baby small dropped 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 baby small, never at rest;
Small, but how dear to us, God knoweth best.

Be gay and glad, but don't forget
From baby's eyes look out a soul
That claims a home in Eden yet.

Joy is my name."
Sweet joy befall thee!

And smile, thou little, young inheritor
Of a world scarce less young: sleep on and smile!
