BABY’S FIRST STEPS.

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?
