to a little invisible being - ghizela rowe - anna laetitia barbauld lyrics
germ of new life, whose powers expanding slow
for many a moon their full perfection wait,—
haste, precious pledge of happy love, to go
auspicious borne through life’s mysterious gate
what powers lie folded in thy curious frame,—
senses from objects locked, and mind from thought!
how little canst thou guess thy lofty claim
to grasp at all the worlds the almighty wrought!
and see, the genial season’s warmth to share
fresh younglings shoot, and opening roses glow!
swarms of new life exulting fill the air,—
haste, infant bud of being, haste to blow!
for thee the nurse prepares her lulling songs
the eager matrons count the lingering day;
but far the most thy anxious parent longs
on thy soft cheek a mother’s kiss to lay
she only asks to lay her burden down
that her glad arms that burden may resume;
and nature’s sharpest pangs her wishes crown
that free thee living from thy living tomb
she longs to fold to her maternal breast
part of herself, yet to herself unknown;
to see and to salute the stranger guest
fed with her life through many a tedious moon
come, reap thy rich inheritance of love!
bask in the fondness of a mother’s eye!
nor wit nor eloquence her heart shall move
like the first accents of thy feeble cry
haste, little captive, burst thy prison doors!
launch on the living world, and spring to light!
nature for thee displays her various stores
opens her thousand inlets of delight
if charmed verse or muttered prayers had power
with favouring spells to speed thee on thy way
anxious i’d bid my beads each passing hour
till thy wished smile thy mother’s pangs o’erpay
