Lorsque l'enfant paraitA
-
XIX MayB
-
-
The child comes toddling in and young and oldA
With smiling eyes its smiling eyes beholdA
And artless babyish joyC
A playful welcome greets it through the roomD
The saddest brow unfolds its wrinkled gloomD
To greet the happy boyC
-
If June with flowers has spangled all the groundA
Or winter bleak the flickering hearth aroundA
Draws close the circling seatA
The child still sheds a never failing lightA
We call Mamma with mingled joy and frightA
Watches its tottering feetA
-
Perhaps at eve as round the fire we drawE
We speak of heaven or poetry or lawE
Or politics or prayerF
The child comes in 'tis now all smiles and playB
Farewell to grave discourse and poet's layB
Philosophy and careF
-
When fancy wakes but sense in heaviest sleepG
Lies steeped and like the sobs of them that weepG
The dark stream sinks and swellsH
The dawn like Pharos gleaming o'er the seaI
Bursts forth and sudden wakes the minstrelsyI
Of birds and chiming bellsI
-
Thou art my dawn my soul is as the fieldA
Where sweetest flowers their balmy perfumes yieldA
When breathed upon by theeI
Of forest where thy voice like zephyr playsI
And morn pours out its flood of golden raysI
When thy sweet smile I seeI
-
Oh sweetest eyes like founts of liquid blueJ
And little hands that evil never knewJ
Pure as the new formed snowK
Thy feet are still unstained by this world's mireL
Thy golden locks like aureole of fireM
Circle thy cherub browN
-
Dove of our ark thine angel spirit fliesI
On azure wings forth from thy beaming eyesI
Though weak thine infant feetA
What strange amaze this new and strange world givesI
To thy sweet virgin soul that spotless livesI
In virgin body sweetA
-
Oh gentle face radiant with happy smileO
And eager prattling tongue that knows no guileO
Quick changing tears and blissI
Thy soul expands to catch this new world's lightA
Thy mazed eyes to drink each wondrous sightA
Thy lips to taste the kissI
-
Oh God bless me and mine and these I loveP
And e'en my foes that still triumphant proveQ
Victors by force or guileO
A flowerless summer may we never seeI
Or nest of bird bereft or hive of beeI
Or home of infant's smileO
