Babies Dont Keep. Song for a Fifth Childcommonly known as Babies Dont Keep was only one part of the life journey of Ruth Hulburt Hamilton. You remain the same and your years will never end.
The children were all older when Jane was born and they would rush home to see her and hold her. Where is the mother whose house is so shocking. Oh Ive grown as shiftless as Little Boy Blue.
Mother oh mother come shake out your cloth.
Song for a Fifth Child also known as Babies Dont Keep by Ruth Hulburt Hamilton. Mother O Mother come shake out your cloth Empty the dustpan poison the moth Hang out the washing make up the bed Sew on a button and butter the bread. There will always be a to-do list a mile long and the guilt that you should be doing more.
