BABY'S DYING
Baby's dying,
Do not stir—
Let her spirit lightly float
Through the sighing
Lips of her—
Still the murmur in the throat;
Let the moan of grief be curbed—
Baby must not be disturbed!
Do not stir—
Let her spirit lightly float
Through the sighing
Lips of her—
Still the murmur in the throat;
Let the moan of grief be curbed—
Baby must not be disturbed!
Baby's dying,
Do not stir—
Let her pure life lightly swim
Through the sighing
Lips of her—
Out from us and up to Him—
Let her leave us with that smile—
Kiss and miss her after while.
Do not stir—
Let her pure life lightly swim
Through the sighing
Lips of her—
Out from us and up to Him—
Let her leave us with that smile—
Kiss and miss her after while.
