Oh! who has seen my baby? Does anybody know Where I can find my darling, My precious little Joe? The house is very lonesome; No baby do I see: Oh! if my missing treasure Would but come back to me! Ah! here is a young lady, Just four years old to-day, Who tells me that my darling Is not so far away. What! this great girl my baby? Well, well, it must be so; But, really, it's amazing To see how babies grow.

Kate Cameron.

THE BIRD'S RETURN

"Where have you been, little birdie,— Where have you been so long?" "Warbling in glee Far o'er the sea, And learning for you a new song, My sweet,— Learning for you a new song." "Why did you go, little birdie,— Why did you go from me?" "Winter was here, Leafless and drear; And so I flew over the sea, My sweet,— So I flew over the sea." "What did you see, little birdie,— What did you see each day?" "Sunshine and flowers, Blossoms and bowers, And pretty white lambkins at play, My sweet,— Pretty white lambkins at play." "Who kept you safe, little birdie,— Who kept you safe from harm?" "The Father of all, Of great and of small: He sheltered me under his arm, My sweet,— Under his dear, loving arm."

George Cooper.

THE DUCKS AND GEESE

Now the snows are melting, going, Now the little streams are flowing; Buds are swelling, birds are singing, Odors sweet the wind is bringing; Quack, quack, quack, quack, quack! Good soft mud and running water, Now waddlers shall not lack. Little girls and boys are straying, Or in sunny meadows playing, Seeking buttercups and clover, While their hearts with joy run over; But—what goose can't see it plainly?— Spring for us is given mainly. Quack, quack, &c.
