Diddily Dee Dot's Dream-Land gives you :
ALL THE CHILDREN
I suppose if all the children who have lived through the ages long
Were collected and inspected they would make a wonderous throng.
Oh, the babble of the Babel ! Oh, the flutter and the fuss !
To begin with Cain and Abel, and to finish up with US.
Think of all the men and women who are now and who have been -
Every nation since creation that this world of ours have seen,
And of all of them not any, but was once a baby small;
While of children, oh, how many have NOT grown up at all !
Some have never laughed or spoken, never used their rosy feet;Some have even flown to heaven ere they knew that earth was sweet !
And indeed I wonder whether, if we reckon every birth
And bring such a flock together, there is room for them on earth.
