THE WEEPING BABE
And here are red roses,
And grapes from the vine,
And a lamb trotting softly,
Thy playfellow fine.
And grapes from the vine,
And a lamb trotting softly,
Thy playfellow fine.
Now smile, little Jesus,
Whom naught can defile;
All gifts will I give Thee
An thou wilt but smile.
Whom naught can defile;
All gifts will I give Thee
An thou wilt but smile.
But it 's lullaby, my Baby!
And mournful am I,
Thou cherished little Jesus,
That still Thou wilt cry.
And mournful am I,
Thou cherished little Jesus,
That still Thou wilt cry.
