To the Child of a Nameless Mother
Baby, O little baby
Why is your feet so cold
And your hands clenched
O what a stomach to be empty
Why doth your beautiful eyes dilate so
Those innocent pebbles
Why doth they carry such pain
Baby, O little baby
Here does come the rain
But do not fear, do not flinch
For now no cold shall I allow
To stiffen and make pale your little body
In my arms may I take you?
As we sing away our former pains in a lullaby
