MY LITTLE MAN.
  Loyal and true as your loving heart can,
  Say, will you always be my little man?

My little man! perchance the bloom.
Of the hidden years, as they come and pass,
May leave me alone, with a wee, wee tomb
Hidden away in the tangled grass.
  Still as on earth, so in heaven above,
  Near to me, dear to me, claiming my love,
  Safe in God's sunshine, and filling his plan,
  Still be forever my own little man.
