Your innocent eyes lightly closed Your tender limbs partly stilled In swaddling linen’s comfort wrapped You sleep within your mother’s girdling arms.
Away from all care you drowse Away from the snares and sorrows of the world With Heaven smiling from the heights And swarm of angels keeping guard round
Fresh as the freshest vernal green Lovely as the loveliest summer bloom Soft as the softest silky fleece You rest, a priceless gift wrapped in grace
Blissful is your sleep Envious is your state But weep not, when you wake Bursting this cocoon to the chill and heat
For on your sides, colorful wings will sprout With iridescent shades, curves and spots To carry you over frost and snow And to feast on the dew served in floral cups!
