With the Babe in her arms, my God!
Her sinless arms in my sinful arms
Place the Babe, my God;
“He has come to take thy sins away;”
Break, O heart, for thy God!
THE TOYS
By Coventry Patmore
My little son, who look’d from thoughtful eyes
And mov’d and spoke in quiet grown-up wise,
Having my law the seventh time disobey’d,
