Annette C. Brown in Half-Century Magazine, March 1920:

Little soul so young and pure,
Gazing through bright eyes at me;
Little soul that must endure
What the future holds for thee.

Incarnate hope of Ethiope’s race,
Little brown skinned baby boy;
A trusting smile, a baby face,
A father’s pride, a mother’s joy.

Laugh and play, brown baby boy,
While life to you is only fun;
May gladness reign without alloy
Within your heart, till life is done.
