- | |
- | |
She lives that first pulsation of the heart | B |
Is life receive dear babe thy destin'd part | B |
Yet frail thy being as the op'ning rose | C |
When chill the rude wind blows | C |
- | |
But ah be like the blossom of the vale | D |
Lov'd infant shelter'd from the mountain gale | D |
On whose meek head descend no ruffling showers | E |
Who lives the span of flowers | E |
- | |
And far from thee may sorrow's tempest bend | F |
Nor ever wasting pangs the bosom rend | F |
Calm be thy day of life and o'er its bloom | G |
May evening mildly come | H |
