MY BABY'S LIPS, by CHARLES LOUIS HENRY WAGNER First Line: My baby's lips can reach my hand Last Line: Kiss on, o baby mine. Subject(s): Babies; Hands; Kisses; Infants | ||||||||
My baby's lips can reach my hand, O baby, baby mine; They steal the sting from reprimand And contravene each stern command, I'm helpless, for I can't withstand Those lips, O baby mine. Your rosy lips were made to kiss, O baby, baby mine; But not my hand as armistice When punished for some deed remiss, Though when you win, to lose is bliss, Kiss on, O baby mine. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...A POET TO HIS BABY SON by JAMES WELDON JOHNSON BABYHOOD by ELIZABETH AKERS ALLEN INFANCY by EDMUND JOHN ARMSTRONG BALLAD OF THE LAYETTE by WAYNE KOESTENBAUM A TOAST FOR LITTLE IRON MIKE by PAUL MARIANI THE PAMPERING OF LEORA by THYLIAS MOSS ONE FOR ALL NEWBORNS by THYLIAS MOSS IN THE THRIVING SEASON by LISEL MUELLER A DROP OF INK by CHARLES LOUIS HENRY WAGNER |
