Sing a song for Baby Beth Sing of meadows gay, Sing of pussy-willows, Sing of lambs at piay; Sing of apple-blossom pink, Sing of violets meek. So like unto her radiant eyes, So like her velvet cheek ; And oh, put in a downy nest, So cozy, snug and warm, Where such a tiny baby bird Can nestlo safe fromharm; And Baby Beth and Mother Betll Will with one voice declaro They love the bonny spring-time best Of all the changing year. Sing a song of rippling brooks, Sing of blooming flowers, Sing of roses white and red. Of long and sunny hours; Sing of sandy wave-washed shores, Of boats upon the bay ; Sing of waving meadow grass, Of fragrant new-mown hay. And ohl put in ahammock large, Where Baby Beth and I, Throughout the sultry summer noons, May safely, snugly He; And Baby Beth and Mother Beth Will say, with joyful zest, They love the golden summer-time Of all the times the best. Smg a song of autumn leaves, Floating lightly down, Sing of all their changing tinta, From crimson gay to brown ; Sing of asters tall and fair, Sing of golden-rod. Sing of elfin acorn-cups, A-strewjng all the sod. And oh! put in a loaded cart, Where Baby Beth can be. Set up among the ripened sheaves And ride triumphantly; And Baby Beth and Mother Beth Will now declare, in glee, They love the pleasant autumn best Of all the times that be. Sing a song of icicles, Fringing all the trees ; Sing of snowflakes fair, though cold, Flving on the breeze ; Sing of lires on the heartn, Sing of Christmas cheer, Sing of jangling silver bells, So merry, loud and clear. And oh, put in a pony sleigh, With robes so soft and warm, That Baby Beth and Mother Beth May brave the wintry storm ; And Mother Beth and Baby Beth Will sing, in merry rhymes, They love the dark, cold winter best Of all the changing times.
