First Line: Baby, baby kind
Last Line: Let it worship you.
Subject(s): Blake, William (1757-1827)


Baby, baby kind,
Though no word we find
Bear us yet in mind.

Half a little hour,
Baby bright in bower,
Keep this thought aflower --

Love it is, I see,
Here with heart and knee
Bows and worships me.

what can baby do,
Then, for love so true? --
Let it worship you.
