Title: To A Little Boy
Author: George W. Doneghy [ More Titles by Doneghy]
I. Dear little one with eyes so blue, And silken ringlets of flaxen hair! Oh, may life have in store for you Something better than anguish and care! Oh, may thy footsteps guided be In paths of peace and pleasantness! Oh, may those bright eyes never see Much of the cold world's bitterness! II.
Dear little one with innocent lips, Tasting life's cup at the sparkling brim! Oh, may the dregs that sorrow sips Ever be kept aloof from him! Oh, may the smile on his dimpled face Through the years to come still linger there! Oh, may Time's fingers gently place The silver strands in his flaxen hair!
