Where hearts, in pain or joy, Soften or harden, Once -played a baby boy Down by the’ garden; “.ooned, like a little elf Strangers beguiling, And, singing to himself, Set others smiling. Staid strollers, passing there, Pondered. to listen; Stroked through his golden hair, Watched his eyves glisten; ‘aught up the song he sung. iling; Dreamed that they, too, were young: Went away smiling. Came they another day, Such a bond made h They could not stay a Old man or lady. Silence was in his place, Sorrow was filing Tcar-drops on ev'ry face That missed his smiling. Somewhere a world of joy, Sunshine and gladness, Rolls round a baby boy Hcre, there is sadness. There is no lilting laugh For cares a-whiling; There is no balm to quaff— There is no smiling.
