Because of One

BECAUSE of one dear infant head With golden hair, To me all little heads A halo wear; And for one saintly face I knew, All babes are fair.
Because of two wide, earnest eyes Of heavenly blue, Which look with yearning gaze My sad soul through, All eyes now fill mine own with tears, Whate’er their hue.
Because of little death-marked lips Which once did call My name in plaintive tones, No voices fail Upon my ears in vain appeal From children small.
Two little hands held in my own, Long, long ago, Now cause me as I wander through This world of woe To clasp each baby hand stretched out In fear of foe, The lowest can not plead in vain— I loved him so.
— The Current.
