The patter of a baby's feet <br />Upon the floor, <br />His babble at the door— <br />Ah, these are sounds too sweet, too sweet! <br />Blue sky, save me from tears! <br />Soft summer wind, stop up mine ears! <br />The patter of a baby's feet, <br />His chatter—oh, too tender sweet !<br /><br />Harriet Monroe<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/melodies/
