SONG FOR THE NEWBORN, by MARY HUNTER AUSTIN Poet Analysis Poet's Biography First Line: Newborn, on the naked sand Last Line: Nakedly lay it. Subject(s): Birth; Holidays; Child Birth; Midwifery | |||
Newborn, on the naked sand Nakedly lay it. Next to the earth mother, That it may know her; Having good thoughts of her, the food giver. Newborn, we tenderly In our arms take it, Make good thoughts. House-god, be entreated, That it may grow from childhood to manhood, Happy, contented; Beautifully walking The trail to old age. Having good thoughts of the earth its mother, That she may give it the fruits of her being. Newborn, on the naked sand Nakedly lay it. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...WHY I AM AFRAID OF TURNING THE PAGE by CATE MARVIN ACCIDENTS OF BIRTH by WILLIAM MEREDITH ONE FOR ALL NEWBORNS by THYLIAS MOSS CURRICULUM VITAE by LISEL MUELLER FOUND IN THE CABBAGE PATCH by LISEL MUELLER |
