English poem
Mother’S Joy
by W. B. Rands
Baby boy was Mother’s joy, And Mother nursed him sweetly; Baby’s skin was pink and thin, And mother dressed him neatly.
Baby boy was Mother’s joy, But sometimes cried a-plenty; Mother mild said, “Oh, my child!” And gave him kisses twenty.
Baby boy was Mother’s joy, Wide awake or sleeping; Mother said, “God overhead Have thee in His keeping!”
