A Fancy

And why is the baby so dumb? 80 lately lts spirit has come Through the heavunly portal, That still in tliat memory pure The vivid impresslons eudure Of regluus imaiorlal ; And could the lcar Ups only speak, They'd gire me that knowledge I seek, Whicb must Dot be piven ; So language her boon will reíase Till lts hcart, llko lts fatber's, sball lost Recollcctlons oí heaven.
