Rhyme Scheme: ABCBDEFG HIJIKLML NFOFPQRQ PSTSUJVJ PWPWXYZY PA2B2A2C2EQE| A pair of very chubby legs | A |
| Encased in scarlet hose | B |
| A pair of little stubby boots | C |
| With rather doubtful toes | B |
| A little kilt a little coat | D |
| Cut as a mother can | E |
| And lo before us strides in state | F |
| The Future's 'coming man ' | G |
| - | |
| His eyes perchance will read the stars | H |
| And search their unknown ways | I |
| Perchance the human heart and soul | J |
| Will open to their gaze | I |
| Perchance their keen and flashing glance | K |
| Will be a nation's light | L |
| Those eyes that now are wistful bent | M |
| On some 'big fellow's' kite | L |
| - | |
| That brow where mighty thought will dwell | N |
| In solemn secret state | F |
| Where fierce ambition's restless strength | O |
| Shall war wih future fate | F |
| Where science from now hidden caves | P |
| New treasures shall outpour | Q |
| 'Tis knit now with a troubled doubt | R |
| Are two or three cents more | Q |
| - | |
| Those lips that in the coming yaars | P |
| Will plead or pray or teach | S |
| Whose whispered words on lightning flash | T |
| From world to world may reach | S |
| That sternly grave may speak command | U |
| Or smiling win control | J |
| Are coaxing now for gingerbread | V |
| With all a baby's soul | J |
| - | |
| Those hands those little busy hands | P |
| So sticky small and brown | W |
| Those hands whose only mission seems | P |
| To pull all order down | W |
| Who knows what hidden strength may lie | X |
| Within their future grasp | Y |
| Though now 'tis but a taffy stick | Z |
| In sturdy hold they clasp | Y |
| - | |
| Ah blessings on those little hands | P |
| Whose work is yet undone | A2 |
| And blessings on those little feet | B2 |
| Whose race is yet un run | A2 |
| And blessings on the little brain | C2 |
| That has not learned to plan | E |
| Whate'er the Future hold in store | Q |
| God bless the 'coming man' | E |
