The Gift

The love shared between a mother and daughter.

 

When lovers meet,

Thou given a gift,

One from above,

Thine gift of love,

 

For now she’s with child,

Thy gift from the lord,

 

The lord is life,

Life is love,

Whence thine child is thine gift from above,

 

Child within thy is full of love,

In thine arms thou child fit like a glove,

 

Through all thine days,

With thou mother child confine,

 

Till the day comes,

Thou mother need’st help and care,

Between thine child comfort share.
