LITTLE JIM.

Our little Jim Was such a limb His mother scarce could manage him. His eyes were blue, And looked you through, And seemed to say, "I'll have my way!" His age was six, His saucy tricks But made you smile, Though all the while You said, "You limb, You wicked Jim, Be quiet, do!" Poor little Jim! Our eyes are dim When soft and low we speak of him. No clattering shoe Goes running through The silent room, Now wrapped in gloom. So still he lies, With fast-shut eyes, No need to say, Alas! to-day, "You little limb, You baby Jim, Be quiet, do!"
