BABY’S FIRST STEPS.
Reading edition
Baby, darling, Do not fear, Move those little Feet, my dear; Don’t stand waiting There so long; You are growing Very strong. Here he comes, Oh, that’s the way! Nurse, I know Mamma will say,
When she comes home, Why, how you talk! Is baby learning how to walk?
Try again, Little pet, You have not Fallen yet; Here she comes; Look, nurse, look! All alone, Three steps she took. When papa Comes home to-night, It will give him Great delight;
And he will say, Why, how you talk! Are you sure the child can walk?
Nurse, I love Our baby so, I must teach her All I know. That’s not much, Papa would say, He laughs at me Most every day, Because I’m old Enough to read, Oh dear! that’s very Hard indeed.
But, baby, we will not stop to talk, We are going out doors to teach you to walk.
