To The First Born Poem by Louisa May Alcott
To The First Born
WELCOME, welcome, little stranger,
Fear no harm, and fear no danger;
We are glad to see you here,
For you sing 'Sweet Spring is near.'
Now the white snow melts away;
Now the flowers blossom gay:
Come dear bird and build your nest,
For we love our robin best.
Now the white snow melts away; Now the flowers blossom gay: Come dear bird and build your nest, For we love our robin best. Enjoyed reading it.
Such a sweet poem. Double meaning employed so beautifully to first born, to the arrival of spring and to process of creation!
This verse possesses a very sweet naivety. Also the title stands alone as a greeting to a first born child giving the baby security and a salutation of optimism. The carefree earlier days in USA.
WELCOME, welcome, little stranger, Fear no harm, and fear no danger; We are glad to see you here, For you sing 'Sweet Spring is near.'... lovely theme. Beautifully composed.
