Poems (Curwen)/Baby

​
Baby.
A silky brown head,  A pinky round face, In a bundle of cambric,  Flannel and lace.
Two bright blinking eyes,  A pert little nose, A sweet little mouth like  The bud of a rose.
Two little fat cheeks,  One dear little chin; And two pretty ears  Where the sound goes in.
A dear little cherub  Some angel dropped down, When passing at Yuletide  Over the town.
A little white soul  Sent from heaven above: A seal of God's blessing  On young wedded love.
This is the baby  Whom parent hearts hold Far above rubies,  More precious than gold.
