Precious child with eyes so clear 
I draw you close and hug you near

From my flesh and of my blood 
To you I pour my care in flood

Your hair is soft, feather fine
I look at you and know you're mine

Lashes wet with dew of sleep
You're falling into slumber deep

Every night your cheek is kissed 
My thumb caught tight in tiny fist

This, the image I will see
Until with you, my babe, I'll be...
