Relationships
Baby-Land
From The Home Book of Verse, ed. Burton Egbert Stevenson (1912)
"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."
