MOTIF by ANONYMOUS

First Line: ON THE GARRET SLEEPS THE ROOF
Last Line: IN ITS CRIB BY THE MOLD'RING WALL
Subject(s): BABIES;DEATH - CHILDREN;REST; INFANTS;DEATH - BABIES;
On the garret sleeps the roof
Covered snug with shingles small,
But naked lies my little babe
In its crib by the mold'ring wall.
