INTO THE WORLD AND OUT.
Into the world he looked with sweet surprise.
The children laughed so when they saw his eyes.

Into the world a rosy hand in doubt
He reached;—a pale hand took one rosebud out.

"And that was all?"—quite all, it may be. . . . But
The children cried so when his eyes were shut.
