<h2> THE SONG OF LUDDY-DUD </h2>
<p>A sunbeam comes a-creeping<br/>
Into my dear one's nest,<br/>
And sings to our babe a-sleeping<br/>
The song that I love the best:<br/>
"'T is little Luddy-Dud in the morning—<br/>
'T is little Luddy-Dud at night;<br/>
And all day long<br/>
'T is the same sweet song<br/>
Of that waddling, toddling, coddling little mite,<br/>
Luddy-Dud."<br/>
The bird to the tossing clover,<br/>
The bee to the swaying bud,<br/>
Keep singing that sweet song over<br/>
Of wee little Luddy-Dud.<br/>
"'T is little Luddy-Dud in the morning—<br/>
'T is little Luddy-Dud at night;<br/>
And all day long<br/>
'T is the same dear song<br/>
Of that growing, crowing, knowing little sprite,<br/>
Luddy-Dud."<br/>
Luddy-Dud's cradle is swinging<br/>
Where softly the night winds blow,<br/>
And Luddy-Dud's mother is singing<br/>
A song that is sweet and low:<br/>
"'T is little Luddy-Dud in the morning—<br/>
'T is little Luddy-Dud at night;<br/>
And all day long<br/>
'T is the same sweet song<br/>
Of my nearest and my dearest heart's delight,<br/>
Luddy-Dud!"<br/></p>
