Matthias Barr

Matthias Barr (December 6th, 1831, Edinburgh, Scotland - December 21, 1911 in London), was a Scottish poet. Only a Baby Small Verse 1 Only a baby small,Dropt from the skies;Only a laughing face,Two sunny eyes;Only two cherry lips,One chubby nose,Only two little hands,Ten little toes. ...... Verse 3 (final) Only a tender flowerSent us to rear,Only a life to loveWhile we are here,Only a baby small,Never at rest;Small, but how dear to usGod knoweth best. Also attributed to Addie Layton.
