Excerpt from New Songs of Innocence In pure white novice-garments drest, She sleeps, my fairest one, Hands folded on her baby breast - A little praying nun. Calm in her innocence she lies, At peace with earth and heaven, With neither woes to make her wise Nor sins to be forgiven. On guard beside my sleeping bliss, I see as in a dream The light of innocence like this In countless chambers gleam. I watch by many a happy hearth The joys that children bring, They put a girdle round the earth Of everlasting Sprint! O cherish children, high a low, And love them, low and high! New souls, within our care to grow, The hostage of the sky - Young angels, though their wings be furled The hope that heavens lends To cast a halo o'er the world Their purity defends!
