TALISMAN by KATHARINE TYNAN

First Line: ALL HEAVEN IN MY ARM
Last Line: WITH ALL HEAVEN IN MY ARM?
Subject(s): CHILDREN; MOTHERS; CHILDHOOD;
ALL Heaven in my arm,
The child for a charm
'Gainst fear and 'gainst sorrow,
To-day and to-morrow.
The child for a charm
Betwixt me and harm.

O mouth, full of kisses!
Small body of blisses!
Your hand on my neck
And your cheek to my cheek.
What shall hurt me or harm
With all Heaven in my arm?
