They wend their way and break your heart
Whenever wrong is done.
A little person knows and feels
Like feeling always was.
Can you hear them O?
Laugh with me please,
And play some too.
Little people love you.
Can you be one too?
As honest as a feeling is
In any time of year
Little one pray tell
What is it you fear?
A bumble bee, a lightening bolt,
A windy moan, some thunder?
Daddy’s near you now;
Hear the trouble fade.
Above the world so dark–
A moon face gently smiling—
So rock-a-bye to many hugs
Your troubles are leaving.
Slowly swings the windy branch,
And through the midnights tears,
Have I kept a pact with you
And shared your little fears?
Someday all of them go
And grey I will be waiting—
Have I given you little one
The things my heart is saying————–
