<h2> THE STORK </h2>
<p>Last night the Stork came stalking,<br/>
And, Stork, beneath your wing<br/>
Lay, lapped in dreamless slumber,<br/>
The tiniest little thing!<br/>
From Babyland, out yonder<br/>
Beside a silver sea,<br/>
You brought a priceless treasure<br/>
As gift to mine and me!<br/>
Last night my dear one listened—<br/>
And, wife, you knew the cry—<br/>
The dear old Stork has sought our home<br/>
A many times gone by!<br/>
And in your gentle bosom<br/>
I found the pretty thing<br/>
That from the realm out yonder<br/>
Our friend the Stork did bring.<br/>
Last night a babe awakened,<br/>
And, babe, how strange and new<br/>
Must seem the home and people<br/>
The Stork has brought you to;<br/>
And yet methinks you like them—<br/>
You neither stare nor weep,<br/>
But closer to my dear one<br/>
You cuddle, and you sleep!<br/>
Last night my heart grew fonder—<br/>
O happy heart of mine,<br/>
Sing of the inspirations<br/>
That round my pathway shine!<br/>
And sing your sweetest love-song<br/>
To this dear nestling wee<br/>
The Stork from 'Way-Out-Yonder<br/>
Hath brought to mine and me!<br/></p>
