To a Little Boy
May you have of life the best,
Little son of Eddie Guest!
Loom ahead the bitter years
Full of labor and of tears.
Time enough to work and study
When you're old as Daddy, Buddy.
Be it ball or marbles, play
All the merry summer day.
Nor forget to holler, " Stop
Workin' an' play with me, Pop! "
Make him stop, and how secure,
Bud, your place in Literature!
