Poems (Linn)/Infants' Tears
INFANTS' TEARS.
HOW little thought we give to infants' tears! We who above a heart-break rise sublime.We smile upon them, soothing the small fears By touch of hand, by foolish nursery rhyme.
Almighty One, dost Thou in love look on With gentle smile while we Thy children weep?Bend low Thy hand, dear Lord, to rest upon Thy child and soothe its sorrowing to sleep.
