From "Aurora Leigh"
Women know
The way to rear up children, (to be just,)
They know a simple, merry, tender knack
Of tying sashes, fitting baby-shoes,
And stringing pretty words that make no sense,
And kissing full sense into empty words;
Which things are corals to cut life upon,
Although such trifles: children learn by such,
Love's holy earnest in a pretty play,
And get not over-early solemnised,–
But seeing, as in a rose-bush, Love's Divine,
Which burns and hurts not,–not a single bloom,–
Become aware and unafraid of Love.
Such good do mothers

I goofed on my first comment, DD.
The music sounded sad to me. I think it is because I've been thinking about WWII lately. The penguins are funny!
The old prams remind me of the state carriages the royals pootle about in on state occasions when the sun's out.
I don't know where you got this, but it's adorable!
