But the Boston maid smiles courteouslee,
And gently murmurs, “Oh, pardon me!
“I did not catch your remark, because
I was so entranced with that lovely vaws!”
Dies erit praegelida
Sinistra quum Bostonia.
A BOSTON LULLABY
Baby’s brain is tired of thinking
On the Wherefore and the Whence;
Baby’s precious eyes are blinking
