THE LOVE AND PROTECTION OF MOTHER AND FATHER by ANONYMOUS

First Line: "HOPE OF MY HEART, IN THY CRADLE REPOSING"
Last Line: TO SING THEE TO SLEEP COUNTS NOTHING TOO WEARING

Hope of my heart, in thy cradle reposing,
Spare her who bore thee and brought thee to life;
Tired out and weary she sits by thy cradle,
To sing thee to sleep counts nothing too wearing.
