Mysterious Mother,
faint with sleep
And given into her arms---
--her new born son.
And felt upon her bosom the cherished one
Breath and stiffen his tiny limbs and weep
Her arms became as wings folding him over
Into that lovely pleasance and her heart
Beat like a tiny bell: "He is my lover,
He is my son, and we shall never part.
Never, never, never, never--But Why?"
And she suddenly bowed her head--
--and began to cry.

THE MOTHER

So that

And given into her arms---
--her new born son.
And felt upon her bosom the cherished one
Breath and stiffen his tiny limbs and weep
Her arms became as wings folding him over
Into that lovely pleasance and her heart
Beat like a tiny bell: "He is my lover,
He is my son, and we shall never part.
Never, never, never, never--But Why?"
And she suddenly bowed her head--
--and began to cry.

What feeling! I could sense the impression of my son's tiny head against my chest once again. Wonderful.
