Rensselaer Semi-Weekly Republican, Volume 35, Number 21, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 14 November 1902 — The Little One at the Door. [ARTICLE]

The Little One at the Door.

A baby kisses him at the door, ,7 And sweetly says good-by— He hurries away to strive all day Where the money-maddened vie. Time was when he showed no mercy there. Men viewed him with dread before, But his ways have changed and his words are fair, He is pitiless no more. All day through the city’s ceaseless roar He hears a happy song That a little one sings as the evening brings The twinkling stars along; There is love deep down in his bosom, where Greed only had room before, And he thinks of the care that others bear For little ones at the" floor. —Chicago Record-Herald.
