The New-Born Baby's Song Poem by Bryan Waller Procter

The New-Born Baby's Song



When I was twenty inches long,

I could not hear the thrush's song;

The radiance of the morning skies

Was most displeasing to my eyes.



For loving looks, caressing words,

I cared no more than sun or birds;

But I could bite my mother's breast,

And that made up for all the rest.
