Love-Songs of Childhood
GOOGLY-GOO

Of mornings, bright and early,

When the lark is on the wing

And the robin in the maple

Hops from her nest to sing,

From yonder cheery chamber

Cometh a mellow coo—

'T is the sweet, persuasive treble

Of my little Googly-Goo!

The sunbeams hear his music,

And they seek his little bed,

And they dance their prettiest dances

Round his golden curly head:

Schottisches, galops, minuets,

Gavottes and waltzes, too,

Dance they unto the music

Of my googling Googly-Goo.

My heart—my heart it leapeth

To hear that treble tone;

What music like thy music,

My darling and mine own!

And patiently—yes, cheerfully

I toil the long day through—

My labor seemeth lightened

By the song of Googly-Goo!

I may not see his antics,

Nor kiss his dimpled cheek:

I may not smooth the tresses

The sunbeams love to seek;

It mattereth not—the echo

Of his sweet, persuasive coo

Recurreth to remind me

Of my little Googly-Goo.

And when I come at evening,

I stand without the door

And patiently I listen

For that dear sound once more;

And oftentimes I wonder,

"Oh, God! what should I do

If any ill should happen

To my little Googly-Goo!"

Then in affright I call him—

I hear his gleeful shouts!

Begone, ye dread forebodings—

Begone, ye killing doubts!

For, with my arms about him,

My heart warms through and through

With the oogling and the googling

Of my little Googly-Goo!
