.--ALL FOR BABY.

Here's a ball for Baby,
Big and soft and round!
Here is Baby's hammer--
O, how he can pound!

Here is Baby's music--
Clapping, clapping so!
Here are Baby's soldiers,
Standing in a row!

Here's the Baby's trumpet,
Toot-too-toot! too-too!
Here's the way that Baby
Plays at "Peep-a-boo!"

Keep the Baby dry!
Here's the Baby's cradle--
Rock-a-baby-by!
