HAPPY LIFE
Baby beauty on my knee,
Baby's mother near me;
Master Bullfinch grown so tame
That he cannot fear me;
Brooks to tell of dipping maids,
Ruby cloves to scent me—
What a happy, happy life
God in trust has lent me!
Baby's mother near me;
Master Bullfinch grown so tame
That he cannot fear me;
Brooks to tell of dipping maids,
Ruby cloves to scent me—
What a happy, happy life
God in trust has lent me!
Baby tumbles on our bed,
Either cheek a cherry,
Raiding Laura's lovely heart,
Mischievous and merry!
Infant swallows at my eaves
Twitter, and content me—
What a happy, happy life
God in trust has lent me!
Either cheek a cherry,
Raiding Laura's lovely heart,
Mischievous and merry!
Infant swallows at my eaves
Twitter, and content me—
What a happy, happy life
God in trust has lent me!
