Of my Brother's infant Son February	A
I	-
	-
THERE is a sound of laughter light and gay	B
And hurried welcomes as of joyful greeting	C
The stir and murmur of a holiday	B
The grouping of glad friends each other meeting	C
And in the midst art THOU thou tiny flower	D
Whose coming hath so cheer'd this wintry hour	D
II	-
	-
Helpless thou liest young blossom of our love	E
The sunshine of fond smiles around thee beaming	C
Blessings call'd down on thee from Heaven above	E
And every heart about thy future dreaming	C
Meek peace and utter innocence are now	F
The sole expression of thy baby brow	F
III	-
	-
Helpless thou liest thy little waxen face	G
Eagerly scann'd by our inquiring glances	H
Hoping some lovely likeness there to trace	G
Which fancy finds and so thy worth enhances	H
Clothing with thought mature and power of mind	I
Those infant features yet so faintly lined	I
IV	E
	-
And still thy youthful mother bendeth down	J
Her large soft loving eyes brimful of gladness	H
Her cheek almost as waxen as thine own	K
Her heart as innocently free from sadness	H
And still a brighter smile her red lip wears	H
As each her young son's loveliness declares	H
V	E
	-
And sometimes as we gaze a sigh is heard	L
Though from the happy group all grief seems banished	M
As thou recallest little nestling bird	L
Some long familiar face whose light hath vanish'd	M
Some name which yet hath power our hearts to thrill	N
Some smile whose buried beauty haunts us still	N
VI	E
	-
Ah most to Her the early widow'd come	O
Thoughts of the blossoms that from earth have perish'd	M
Lost to her lone and solitary home	P
Though in her brooding memory fondly cherish'd	M
Her little grandson's baby smiles recall	Q
Not one regretted hope of youth but all	Q
VII	E
	-
Her Son's son lies upon her cradling knee	E
And bids her heart return with mournful dreaming	C
To her own first born's helpless infancy	E
When hope youth's guiding star was brightly beaming	C
And He who died too soon stood by and smiled	R
And bless'd alike the mother and her child	R
VIII	E
	-
Since then how many a year hath fleeted past	S
What unforeseen events what joys what sorrows	H
With sunshine or with clouds have overcast	S
The long succession of her lonely morrows	H
Ere musing o'er this fair and new born face	H
A fresh link carried on her orphan'd Race	H
IX	H
	-
Fair child that race is not by man's award	T
Ennobled but by God no titles sounded	U
By herald's trump or smooth and flattering bard	V
Proclaim within what lines thy rank is bounded	U
Thy power hereditary none confine	W
The gift of Genius boy by right is thine	W
X	H
	-
Be humble for it is an envied thing	C
And men whose creeping hearts have long submitted	U
Around the column'd height to clasp and cling	C
Of Titled Pride by man to man transmitted	X
Will grudge the power they have less cause to dread	Y
Oppose thee living and malign when dead	Y
XI	H
	-
One of thy lineage served his country well	Z
Though with her need her gratitude departed	U
What in her memory now is left to dwell	Z
The faults of him who died half broken hearted	U
And those whose envious hands ne'er stretch'd to save	E
Pluck down the laurels springing from his grave	E
XII	H
	-
Yet hush it is a solemn hour and far	A2
Be human bitterness and vain upbraiding	C
With hope we watch thy rising thou young star	A2
Hope not all earthly or it were too fading	C
For we are met to usher in thy life	E
With Prayer which lifteth hearts and quelleth strife	E
XIII	H
	-
Hush'd is the busy group and still as death	B2
All at the sacred altar meekly kneeling	C
For thy sake who so lately drew thy breath	B2
All unto Heaven with earnest heart appealing	C
A solemn voice addresses the Most High	E
And with a murmuring echo we reply	E
XIV	E
	-
All holy be the hour and oh may Heaven	C2
Look down and bless the anxious mother's part	D2
As meekly she confides the treasure given	C2
So lately to her young and hoping heart	D2
And pleads that God's great love may be his stay	B
And guide her little Wanderer on his way	B
XV	E
	-
So let it be and when the noble head	Y
Of thy true hearted father babe beloved	E2
Now glossy dark is silver gray instead	Y
And thy young birth day far away removed	F2
Still may'st thou be a comfort and a joy	G2
Still welcome as this day unconscious boy	G2
