Tum porro puer ut saevis projectus ab undis	A
Navita nudus humi jacet etc Lucretius	A
	-
	-
	-
Like a shipwrecked Sailor tost	B
By rough waves on a perilous coast	B
Lies the Babe in helplessness	A
And in tenderest nakedness	A
Flung by labouring nature forth	C
Upon the mercies of the earth	D
Can its eyes beseech no more	E
Than the hands are free to implore	E
Voice but serves for one brief cry	F
Plaint was it or prophecy	A
Of sorrow that will surely come	G
Omen of man's grievous doom	H
	-
But O Mother by the close	A
Duly granted to thy throes	A
By the silent thanks now tending	I
Incense like to Heaven descending	I
Now to mingle and to move	J
With the gush of earthly love	K
As a debt to that frail Creature	L
Instrument of struggling Nature	L
For the blissful calm the peace	A
Known but to this 'one' release	A
Can the pitying spirit doubt	B
That for human kind springs out	B
From the penalty a sense	A
Of more than mortal recompense	A
	-
As a floating summer cloud	B
Though of gorgeous drapery proud	B
To the sun burnt traveler	L
Or the stooping labourer	L
Oft times makes its bounty known	M
By its shadow round him thrown	M
So by chequerings of sad cheer	L
Heavenly Guardians brooding near	L
Of their presence tell too bright	B
Haply for corporeal sight	B
Ministers of grace divine	N
Feelingly their brows incline	N
O'er this seeming Castaway	O
Breathing in the light of day	O
Something like the faintest breath	P
That has power to baffle death	P
Beautiful while very weakness	A
Captivates like passive meekness	A
	-
And sweet Mother under warrant	B
Of the universal Parent	B
Who repays in season due	B
Them who have like thee been true	B
To the filial chain let down	Q
From his everlasting throne	M
Angels hovering round thy couch	R
With their softest whispers vouch	R
That whatever griefs may fret	B
Cares entangle sins beset	B
This thy First born and with tears	A
Stain her cheek in future years	A
Heavenly succour not denied	B
To the babe whate'er betide	B
Will to the woman be supplied	B
	-
Mother blest be thy calm ease	A
Blest the starry promises	A
And the firmament benign	N
Hallowed be it where they shine	N
Yes for them whose souls have scope	S
Ample for a winged hope	S
And can earthward bend an ear	L
For needful listening pledge is here	L
That if thy new born Charge shall tread	B
In thy footsteps and be led	B
By that other Guide whose light	B
Of manly virtues mildly bright	B
Gave him first the wished for part	B
In thy gentle virgin heart	B
Then amid the storms of life	T
Presignified by that dread strife	T
Whence ye have escaped together	L
She may look for serene weather	L
In all trials sure to find	B
Comfort for a faithful mind	B
Kindlier issues holier rest	B
Than even now await her prest	B
Conscious Nursling to thy breast	B

William Wordsworth
