On The Birth Of A Posthumous Child
On The Birth Of A Posthumous Child</p>
Born in peculiar circumstances of family distress.</p>
Sweet flow'ret, pledge o' meikle love,</p>
And ward o' mony a prayer,</p>
What heart o' stane wad thou na move,</p>
Sae helpless, sweet, and fair?</p>
November hirples o'er the lea,</p>
Chil, on thy lovely form:</p>
And gane, as! the shelt'ring tree,</p>
Should shield thee frae the storm.</p>
May He who gives the rain to pour,</p>
And wings the bst to bw,</p>
Protect thee frae the driving show'r,</p>
The bitter frost and snaw.</p>
May He, the friend o' Woe and Want,</p>
Who heals life's various stounds,</p>
Proted guard the mother pnt,</p>
And heal her cruel wounds.</p>
But te she flourish'd, rooted fast,</p>
Fair in the summer morn,</p>
Now feebly bends she i,</p>
Uer'd and forlorn.</p>
Blest be thy bloom, thou lovely gem,</p>
Unscath'd by ruffian hand!</p>
And from thee many a parent stem</p>
Arise to deck our nd!</p>
