The children were drawing, with caution and care,

Their sweet baby-sister, to give her the air,

In a dainty straw wagon with wheels of bright red,

And a top of white muslin which shaded her head.

She was only one year and a few months old;

Her eyes were bright blue and her hair was like

gold;

She laughed all the time from morning till night,

Till Eddie and Jane were quite wild with delight=.

And were laughing to watch her fat little hands
