A-NAUGHTY-BIOGRAPHY.
MY INFANCY.
Full forty years have passed and gone, Since early on a winter's morn, My infant eyes first struck the light. At once I showed my baby-spite, To find my new abode so plain, And half resolved I'd not remain. If I had unexpected come, And found this unpretending home, I might the negligence excused, But now I felt I was abused.
For half a year the fact was known That I was on the road to town, And all the neighbors, far and near, Said, "Doctor'd bring a baby here." And so I came at dawn of day, A-crying, too, I've heard them say, And found few preparations made-- I've often wondered that I stayed.
