| No baby in the house I know— | | | ’Tis far too nice and clean; | | | No toys by careless fingers strewn | | | Upon the floors are seen. | | | No finger-marks are on the panes, | 5 | | No scratches on the chairs, | | | No wooden men set up in rows, | | | Or marshaled off in pairs; | | | No little stockings to be darned, | | | All ragged at the toes, | 10 | | No pile of mending to be done, | | | Made up of baby-clothes; | | | No little troubles to be soothed, | | | No little hands to fold; | | | No grimy fingers to be washed, | 15 | | No stories to be told; | | | No tender kisses to be given, | | | No nick-names—“Clove” and “Mouse;” | | | No merry frolics after tea— | | | No baby in the house. | 20 | | |
