“Mamma, how happy I should be,
To swim below the deep, blue sea ;
To see those creatures strange and rare,

And pearls and diamonds shining there.”

“Yes, darling, many wonders hide,
Beneath old ocean’s rolling tide,
But Nature's wonders deep and grand,

Around us lie on every hand.”

“O,.mamma! I would like.to fly ©

Up to that rainbow in the sky;

To watch those golden clouds so bright,
And see the stars come out at night.”

“My precious boy, you yet may soar
On angel wings, when life is oer,
And with the pure, in worlds of light,

Explore those wonders with delight.’
