Edgar Guest - Sue`s Got A Baby
Work rating: Low

Sue`s got a baby now, an` she
Is like her mother used to be;
Her face seems prettier, an` her ways
More settled-like. In these few days
She`s changed completely, an` her smile
Has taken on the mother-style.
Her voice is sweeter, an` her words
Are clear as is the song of birds.
She still is Sue, but not the same—
She`s different since the baby came.
There is a calm upon her face
That marks the change that`s taken place;
It seems as though her eyes now see
The wonder things that are to be,
An` that her gentle hands now own
A gentleness before unknown.
Her laughter has a clearer ring
Than all the bubbling of a spring,
An` in her cheeks love`s tender flame
Glows brighter since the baby came.
I look at her an` I can see
Her mother as she used to be.
How sweet she was, an` yet how much
She sweetened by the magic touch
That made her mother! In her face
It seemed the angels left a trace
Of Heavenly beauty to remain
Where once had been the lines of pain
An` with the baby in her arms
Enriched her with a thousand charms.
Sue`s got a baby now an` she
Is prettier than she used to be.
A wondrous change has taken place,
A softer beauty marks her face
An` in the warmth of her caress
There seems the touch of holiness,
An` all the charms her mother knew
Have blossomed once again in Sue.
I sit an` watch her an` I claim
My lost joys since her baby came.
