Rosebud lay in her trundlle b.Nd,
With her small bands folded above her
head;
And tixed her innocect eyes on me.
White a thou;.hnful shadow came over their
glee,
'Mamma." she said, " when I go to s1cep,
I pray to the Far her my soiuJ ro keep;
And be comes and cairies it fair away,
To the beauriful home where his angels
stay;
I gather' red roses, and li!!ies so white,
I sing with the angels through all the long
night;
And wien, in the morning, I wake fromi my
sleep..
He gives back the sotul that I gave him to
keep,
An-t I only remember, like beautiful dreams,
Th le garlands~ of hillies, the wonderful
streams;"

trundle bed:
The balmiest sleep we ever experien
ced was whe'n we were nestling in the
old trundle bed with a curly headed bro

to mauke room fur a nlew customer. But
trundle bed dreams were sooni at an end,
for when the next customer came we
ni.ke+rom for the next that was turned
Put froln th parent nest, and so they
kepi alternating for years, until we were
fdirlv turned out into the world.
