MY BABY'S SHOE.
My one, sweet, precious baby girl,With eyes of deepest blue—The little feet are cold and stillThat wore this pretty shoe.
The waxen hands are folded now,No more to grasp my dress;The childish lips that death had kissedI never more shall press.
I lift my eyes to heaven, and feelThat she is happy there;But tears fall on the little shoeMy baby used to wear.
