Busch and Tommy
Little Busch and Tommy Hays —
Small the theme, but large the praise, —
For two braver brothers,
Of such toddling years and size,
Bloom of face, and blue of eyes,
Never trampled soldier-wise
On the rights of mothers!
Even boldly facing their
Therapeutic father's air
Of complex abstraction,
But to kindle — kindlier gaze,
Wake more smiles and gracious ways —
Ay, nor find in all their days
Ampler satisfaction!
Hail ye, then, with chirp and cheer,
All wan patients, waiting here
Bitterer medications! —
Busch and Tommy, tone us, too. —
How our life-blood leaps anew,
Under loving touch of you
And your ministrations!
