BABY JEAN.
Reading edition
Eyes as bright as diamonds, Mouth all sweet and clean, Cheeks with tempting dimples; That's my baby Jean! Hands as soft as rose-leaves, Teeth like glistening pearls, Little sunbeams woven On her heads for curls. Little feet that patter Here and everywhere, Little mind that's busy, Filled with childish care. Lips from which the kisses Bubble all day long, Tongue that's ever singing Some sweet cradle-song. How I love my baby Words can never tell; And she—she loves papa Just as much and well. She's the dearest fairy That was ever seen; And from Heaven I'm certain Came my baby Jean!
F.E. HAMILTON.
