| its mother | B |
| She answered half crying half laughing and clasping the | C |
| baby to her breast | D |
| You were hidden in my heart as its desire my darling | E |
| You were in the dolls of my childhood's games and when with | F |
| clay I made the image of my god every morning I made the unmade | G |
| you then | H |

| in the sky before the sunrise | R |
| Heaven's first darling twain born with the morning light you | J |
| have floated down the stream of the world's life and at last you | J |
| have stranded on my heart | S |
| As I gaze on your face mystery overwhelms me you who belong | T |
| to all have become mine | U |
| For fear of losing you I hold you tight to my breast What | V |
| magic has snared the world's treasure in these slender arms of | W |
| mine | U |
