by Louise Ayres Garnett (1877 - 1937)

O baby, the chair some day will be
Language: English 
O baby, the chair some day will be 
A boat for another pair; 
For you with your baby will sail the sea 
Within the same rocking chair. 
And as we rock and hum and sing, 
So you will go singing too, 
And pirate dreams with sweep and with swing 
Will take baby and boat and you.
