A Baby's Feet by Algernon Charles Swinburne

A baby's feet, like sea-shells pink,
Might tempt, should heaven see meet
An angel's lips to kiss, we think,
A baby's feet.

Like rose-hued sea-flowers toward the heat
They stretch and spread and wink
Their ten soft buds that part and meet.

No flower-bells that expand and shrink
Gleam half so heavenly sweet,
As shine on life's untrodden brink
A baby's feet.


Little by Dorothy Aldis

I am the sister of him
And he is my brother.
He is too little for us
To talk to each other.

So every morning I show him
My doll and my book
But every morning he still is
Too little to look.


Two in a Bed by A. B. Ross

When my brother Tommy
Sleeps in bed with me,
He doubles up
And makes
himself
exactly
like
a
V

And 'cause the bed is not so wide,
A part of him is on my side.

In Go-Cart So Tiny by Kate Greenaway

In go-cart so tiny
My sister I drew;
And I've promised to draw her
The wide world through.

We have not yet started--
I own it with sorrow--
Because our trip's always
Put off till to-morrow.
