CRADLE SONG (TO A TUNE OF BLAKE'S): 7, by                 Poet Analysis     Poet's Biography
First Line: Baby, baby wise
Last Line: So your heart feels love.
Subject(s): Blake, William (1757-1827)


Baby, baby wise,
Love's divine surmise
Lights your constant eyes.

Day and night and day
One mute word would they,
As the soul saith, say.

Trouble comes and goes;
Wonder ebbs and flows;
Love remains and glows.

As the fledgeling dove
Feels the breast above.
So your heart feels love.
