Part 1 — INTO THE WORLD AND OUT
Reading edition
Into the world he looked with sweet surprise; The children laughed so when they saw his eyes.
Into the world a rosy hand in doubt He reached—a pale hand took one rosebud out.
"And that was all—quite all!" No, surely! But The children cried so when his eyes were shut.
Sarah M. B. Piatt [1836-1919]
