Poems (Curwen)/A Welcome to Baby
A Welcome to Baby.
Welcome! thrice welcome, Sweet flower of May, Thy coming we hail With gladness to-day. With hearts full of joy, Gaily we sing, Welcome! thrice welcome, Wee blossom of spring.
Dear little flow'ret So fragile and fair, Coming to blossom In a world full of care. God ever keep thee From sorrow and strife; God shield thee ever From the rough blasts of life.
Fond hearts are yearning Thee to behold, Loving arms longing Thy form to enfold. Loving lips bless thee And tenderly say, God bless our baby! Our flower of May.
