Poems for Baby
from Sing-Song by Christina Rossetti


Mother's arms under you,
Her eyes above you;
Sing it high, sing it low,
Love me - I love you.

or another poem for babies by Christina Rossetti:-

Love me, - I love you,
Love me, my baby;
Sing it high, sing it low,
Sing it as may be.

Angels at the foot,
And Angels at the head,
And like a curly little lamb
My pretty babe in bed.



Here's a baby poem, more modern,  which seems to capture the delight of a
new-born child:-

Beautiful One
Though I was there when you were created, birthed,
yet you are a mystery, child of mine.
Sleeping in my arms, you hold the mysteries of the universe,
and show the wonder of the creator.
Beautiful mystery, child of mine.


Infant Joy
William Blake.

"I have no name;
I am but two days old."
What shall I call thee?
"I happy am,
Joy is my name."
Sweet joy befall thee!
Pretty joy!
Sweet joy, but two days old.
Sweet Joy I call thee:
Thou dost smile,
I sing the while;
Sweet joy befall thee!
