THE DARLING AWAKE
London Pub, 1st May 1809 at R. Ackermann's Repository of Arts 101 Strand.
Thou darling Babe! Thy Mother holds the
With rapture views thy Cherub smiles
A Mother's fond embrace enfolds thee
Her voice thy ev'ry fear beguiles
While I behold each infant grace
What pleasure does my bosom prove
With what delight thy form I trace
Thou pledge of Hymeneal love.
