Like the new moon thu life appears,
A little strip of silrer light,
And, widening outward into night,
Che shadowy disk of future years;
A nd yet upon its outer rim
A luminous circle, faint and dim,
A nd scarcely visible to us here,
R ounds and completes the perfect sphere.
D ainty little maiden, whither would you wander?
Ab wbat monls the world be to us
W hither from this pretty house, this city-house of ours?
df the children were no more?
Baby Days
