Synopsis
Baby, of all mysterious things,
You're stranger far than stars or kings.
You stare superbly day by day,
Nor let your large reserve give way.
Unfathomable mysteries
Lurk in your big, unseeing eyes,
Making brave memories, and yet,
Making them only to forget.
But though reflectively you blink.
Trying to make us think you think.
We know you cannot think or talk.
You cannot run, you cannot walk ;
You little human mystery.
You can't do anything but be.
Table of Contents
First the Infant in Its Mother's Arms
Then the Toddling Baby Boy
Then the Epicure
Then the Lover sighing Hke a furnace
Then the Scholar
The Sixth Age shifts
To lean and slender maidenhood
Last scene of all that ends
This strange eventful History
