Not in his cradle sleeping Is my darling baby fair — Not on the carpet creeping— But in his table chair ; He sleeps such rosy slumber As a baby only knows ; For its heart no cares encumber To mar its sweet repose. He sits with dimp'ed fingers Pressed to his roseate cheek,— And on his face still lingers A smile, and sunbeams streak His pretty locks co golden. Kissed by t he summer breeze; No fairer sight beholden By mothers are, than these. His silver spoon has fallen, What cares he for it now f Such minor things do psalm Sweet baby's senses now, He's revelling in the fancies Of childhood's blest domain, Where innocence enhances His sweet cherubic reign. Oh, tell me not of pleasures In palace hall so gay ; But give me cottage treasures Like this I own to day. A little cherub dreaming— A bud just opening fair— A light divinely beaming On every rising Bare. Sleep on. for angels ever Are kindly watching thee. And naught but sin can sever Thee in futurity. May my dove never slumber Where covert danger lies, May virtue's force outnumber Temptation till it flies. Baby! thy world is beautiful, For thou art smiling now.
