A Baby
Why speak of Rajah rubies, And roses of the South? I know a sweeter crimson A baby's mouth. Why speak of Sultan sapphires And violet seas and skies? I know a lovelier azure A baby's eyes. Go seek the wide world over! Search every land and mart! You 'll never find a pearl like this A baby's heart.
