Come to the land where the babies grow,
Like flowers in the
green, green grass.
Tiny babes that swing and
crow
Whenever the warm winds pass,
And laugh at their own
bright eyes aglow
In a fairy looking-glass.
Come to the
sea where the babies sail
In ships of shining pearl,
Borne
to the west by a golden gale
Of sun-beams all awhirl;
And
perhaps a baby brother will sail
To you, my little girl. |
