ROBBIE'S ANGEL!

And the children gathered around it
In beautiful glad surprise
At the size of the baby's fingers,—
The blue of the baby's eyes.
In beautiful glad surprise
At the size of the baby's fingers,—
The blue of the baby's eyes.
Then Robbie, in eager wonder,
With his dimpled face alight,
Said, "What were you called, you darling,
When you came to our house last night?"
And when nurse replied, "An angel,"
His great brown eyes grew wide,—
"Oh! what was your name, sweet angel,
In the house from which you died?
With his dimpled face alight,
Said, "What were you called, you darling,
When you came to our house last night?"
And when nurse replied, "An angel,"
His great brown eyes grew wide,—
"Oh! what was your name, sweet angel,
In the house from which you died?
