You came to me, dear, so welcome, so fair; You brought with you joy, too great to compare; A God-given trust to my clumsy care— Dear little daughter o' mine. Your dear, baby smile, bewitchingly sweet; Your lips like a rose-bud, your tiny pink feet; Your hands reaching out, the whole world to greet— Sweet little daughter o' mine. You've been to me, dear, a dream that came true; My world has revolved around about you; Each day you have seemed, a treasure quite new Blest little daughter o' mine. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...REMEMBRANCE by EMILY JANE BRONTE ON GEORGE HERBERT'S BOOK, THE TEMPLE, SENT TO A GENTLEWOMAN by RICHARD CRASHAW GRASS FINGERS by ANGELINA WELD GRIMKE THE WINDHOVER: TO CHRIST OUR LORD by GERARD MANLEY HOPKINS THE WAVING OF THE CORN by SIDNEY LANIER VILLANELLE, WITH STEVENSON'S ASSISTANCE by FRANKLIN PIERCE ADAMS A SONNET.
