Babyhood.

II.

All heaven, in every baby born,
All absolute of earthly leaven,
Reveals itself, though man may scorn
All heaven.


Yet man might feel all sin forgiven,
All grief appeased, all pain outworn,
By this one revelation given.


Soul, now forget thy burdens borne:
Heart, be thy joys now seven times seven:
Love shows in light more bright than morn
All heaven.
