The Newly-Born
"Midwives and you looking at me,
Why are you happy at my arrival?
Are you here to kidnap me again?
Do you dream I am good tidings?
If you can open my heart’s basket
And read message for the world
I hold here with me in confidence
None of you could rejoice anyway"
All listened, no one talked!
