BABY
Where
did you come from, Baby Dear?
Out of everywhere
into the here.
Where did
you get your eyes so beautiful?
Out of the
sky as I came through
What makes
your forehead so smooth and high?
A soft hand
stroked it as I went by.
Whence that
three-comered smile of bliss?
Three angels
gave me at once a kiss.
Where
did you get this pearly ear?
God spoke,
and it come out to hear.
Where did
you get those arms and hands?
Love made
itself into bonds and bands.
Feet, where
did you come, your darling things?
From the
same box as the Cherub’s wings
How did
they all just come to be you?
God thought
about me and so I grew.
But
how did you come to us, Angel Dear?
God thought
about you, and so I am here
