MOTHER EARTH AND THE NEW WOMAN
Love in my arms lies weeping,
His tiny limbs upcurled:
Art thou so soon, my darling,
Aweary of the world?
His tiny limbs upcurled:
Art thou so soon, my darling,
Aweary of the world?
Come, come, a baby's troubles
Are easily redressed:
Drink deep, drink deep, my darling,
God gives thee of his best.
Are easily redressed:
Drink deep, drink deep, my darling,
God gives thee of his best.
Ah, now about my bosom
The tiny hands have curled!
To thee, to thee, my darling,
The bosom is the world.
The tiny hands have curled!
To thee, to thee, my darling,
The bosom is the world.
Love in my arms lies weeping.
O God! dear God! recall
Thy children to my breast, for here
Is nourishment for all.
O God! dear God! recall
Thy children to my breast, for here
Is nourishment for all.
