I dearly love them both, and yet When evil tempers rise,Too often I their love forget, And Gods commands despise. Am I my Heavenly Fathers childWhen His commands I break, And can I sleep unreconciled,And happily awake?

Upon its mothers kneeBaby dear lies sleeping : Now we all must quiet be,On soft tiptoe creeping. We may kiss its hand, and peepAt each pretty feature, But must not disturb its sleep—Lovely little creature ! 16 THE SLEEPING INFANT. See its dimpled arms, so fair, Smooth, and round, and waxen ; And, beneath the cap, its hair All so soft and flaxen. ! By and bye, when he has grown, He will laugh and prattle, Walk about the room alone, With his horse and rattle. ! In the garden he shall play Mong the pretty flowers, And, with loving sisters gay, 1 Spend the pleasant hours. Then we 11 set him in the swing, (But not to turn him over,) Dance hand in hand, in merry ring, And roll him in the clover. God protect our cherub dear, Our lovely baby brother, And many a long and happy year Preserve us for each other. s. w. p. 17
