Additional Details:
|
Two young children, a girl and a boy, gaze adoringly at a baby lying in a cradle. The girl, dressed in a light-colored dress, leans over the cradle while the boy, in darker clothing, stands beside her. The baby wears a white gown and cap. The cradle is adorned with light blue ribbons. The scene is framed by a decorative oval border with small pink and white flowers. Below the image is a poem titled "Only a baby small," which describes the baby's features and their preciousness. The poem reads: Only a baby small, Only Dropped from the skies ; Only a laughing face, Two sunny eyes. Only two cherry lips, One chubby nose ; Only two little hands, Ten little toes. Only a baby small, Small, but how dear to us, Never at rest ; God knoweth best. M. B. |
