THE TWINS

Yes, there they lie, so small, so quaint,
Two mouths, two noses, and two chins;
What Painter shall we get to paint
And glorify the Twins,
To give us all the charm that dwells
In tiny cloaks and coral-bells,
And all those other pleasant spells
Of Babyhood? and not forget
The silver mug for either Pet—
No babe should be without it.
Come, Limner Kate! for you can thrill
Our hearts with pink and daffodil,
And white rosette, and dimpled frill;
Come, paint our little Jack and Jill,
And don't be long about it.
