The version I know goes like this:

I hope my children look back on today and see a mum who had fourth dimension to play.
In that location volition be years for cleaning and cooking simply children grow one-time while we're non looking -

So settle downwardly cobwebs,
dust go to sleep
I'm cuddling my children
'Cos children don't keep.

Another one I like is:

Scout over her Lord,
This child that I love.
Picket over her Lord
From your heaven in a higher place.
Continue her from suffering,
Loved permit her be.
Lookout man over her Lord
As you've watched over me.

Babies Don't Keep

Mother, oh Mother,
come milkshake out your cloth,
empty the dustpan,
poison the moth,
hang out the washing
and butter the staff of life,

sew on a button and make up a bed.

Where is the female parent whose house
is so shocking?
She's up in the nursery,
blissfully rocking.
Oh, I've grown shiftless as Little
Boy Blue (lullaby, rockaby, lullaby loo).

Dishes are waiting and bills are past due
(pat-a-cake, darling, and peek, peekaboo).
The shopping'south not done
and there's nothing for stew
and out in the yard there'due south a hullabaloo
but I'm playing Kanga and this is my Roo.
Look! Aren't her eyes the most wonderful hue?
(lullaby, rockaby, lullaby loo).

The cleaning and scrubbing
will expect till tomorrow,
for children grow up,
every bit I've learned to my sorrow.
So quiet down, cobwebs.
Dust become to slumber.
I'chiliad rocking my baby and babies don't go on'

This one is as old equally the hills (and me)! Information technology is the last refrain from "Song for a fifth Child" past Ruth Hamilton.

"Mother, oh Mother, come shake out your cloth,
Empty the dustpan, poisonous substance the moth,
Hang out the washing and butter the bread,
Run up on a button and make up a bed.
Where is the mother whose house is then shocking?
She'due south up in the plant nursery, blissfully rocking.
Oh, I've grown shiftless equally Little Male child Blueish
(Lullaby, rockaby, lullaby loo).
Dishes are waiting and bills are past due

The shopping'southward non done and in that location's zilch for stew
And out in the k at that place's a hullabaloo
But I'thou playing Kanga and this is my Roo.
Look! Aren't her eyes the most wonderful hue?
(Lullaby, rockaby, lullaby loo).

The cleaning and scrubbing volition wait till tomorrow,
For children abound upwards, as I've learned to my sorrow.
And so quiet downwardly, cobwebs. Dust go to sleep.
I'm rocking my babe and babies don't continue."

We had this verse form on the wall of the Maternity Ward!

I hope my child looks back on today
and remembers a Mum who had fourth dimension to play
There will be years for cleaning and cooking
But children grow upwards when we are not looking
Cleaning and scrubbing tin can wait till tomorrow
Cos babies abound fast, we learn to our sorrow
Then settle down cobwebs, dust become to slumber
I'm cuddling my baby, and babies don't go on xx

I don't recollect information technology being cross stitched simply, this poem hung over our kitchen sink all my life. Seems it was a print with a mother rocking a babe & pans & various cleaning items floating around. It was longer than the 4 basic lines just it defin. didn't accept Kanga & Roo in it. Seems as the many years accept gone by it's been added to & parts taken from. I wonder if it's posible to see that i in the 1938 'Ladies Home Periodical?

I did 2 of these, back in the late 70'due south/early 80'south. It was a big crewel kit, a Dusk from 1976. The mother had the baby wrapped in a shawl, and when you lifted the shawl fringe, you saw her hand. I merely institute one on ebay.

I crewel embroidered this in 1979 for my son and years after gave it to my church. When they remodeled, information technology was lost. I so wish I had it back to hang in the spare room for my grandchildren.
